NI 9201 Measurement System

The NI 9201 Measurement System measures 8 voltage channels at 500 kS/s with 12-bit resolution, sending data to a host PC over USB, Ethernet or 802.11 Wi-Fi.

Measurement Bundle Overview
The hardware for an NI CompactDAQ single measurement bundle consists of a USB, Ethernet, or 802.11 Wi-Fi chassis and one of the over 50 NI C Series measurement-specific modules. These small rugged bundles are ideal for portable or distributed measurements.

Chassis
The chassis controls the timing for the module and handles communication with the PC over the USB, Ethernet, or 802.11 Wi-Fi bus. Additionally, all NI CompactDAQ chassis include four counter/timers that you can access through a digital I/O module like the NI 9401.

Module
The NI 9201 is a C Series module for 8-channel analog input at a maximum aggregate rate of 500 kS/s. The module effectively combines channel count and speed at a low price for an economical multifunction system.

As with the majority of C Series modules, the NI 9201 is protected from harmful voltage spikes of up to 2,300 Vrms. This means that no harmful voltage within the isolation rating can harm other modules in the system, the chassis, or any connected computer equipment. In addition to the absolute protection from the isolation, there is up to 100 V of overvoltage protection for errant signal connection or unexpected outputs to the individual channels.

You can choose from two connector options for the NI 9201 -- a 10-position screw terminal connector for direct connectivity and a 25-position D-SUB connector. The industry-standard 25-position D-SUB connector provides low-cost cabling to a wide variety of accessories from NI or other vendors. Several vendors also provide custom D-SUB cable fabrication services and cables with a pinout that matches your exact application needs.


Accessories
NI recommends the NI 9932 strain-relief connector accessory for the NI 9201. The NI 9934 (or other 25-pin D-SUB connector) is required for use with the NI 9201 with D-SUB module. The NI 9934 includes a screw terminal connector with strain relief as well as a D-SUB solder cup backshell for creating custom cable assemblies.
