National Instruments cDAQ-9188XT rugged data acquisition system

The NI cDAQ-9188XT is a rugged, 8-slot NI CompactDAQ ethernet chassis that is designed for distributed or remote measurements in extreme environments. The device can withstand temperatures from -40 to 70°C, 50 g shock and 5 g vibration. Engineers in the automotive, military and aerospace industries have used it to successfully acquire data and avoid costly repeat tests.

In addition, the chassis is the first in the NI CompactDAQ platform to offer an onboard watchdog with defined safe states to help protect tests and equipment. The platform includes 10 chassis options, three buses and over 50 C Series modules with a wide range of connectivity and I/O. The platform also has native integration with NI LabVIEW system design software, which provides signal-processing libraries and user-interface controls designed for data visualisation.

The NI CompactDAQ platform also now supports the LabVIEW Electrical Power Suite. With this toolkit, NI CompactDAQ users can integrate power-analysis functions such as energy, frequency, voltage unbalance and event detection into their monitoring systems.
