nnnnOverview
nnnnThe NI cDAQ-9171 is a bus-powered, 1 -slot NI CompactDAQ USB chassis designed for small, portable sensor measurement
nnnnsystems. Combine the cDAQ-9171 and one of the over 50 NI C Series measurement-specific modules to create an analog output,
nnnndigital I/O, or counter/timer measurement system.
nnnnModules are available for a variety of sensor measurements including thermocouples, RTDs, strain gages, load and pressure
nnnntransducers, torque cells, accelerometers, flow meters, encoders, and microphones. NI CompactDAQ systems combine sensor
nnnnmeasurements with voltage, current, and digital signals to create custom measurement systems with a single, simple USB cable back
nnnnto the PC, laptop, or netbook.
nnnnThe cDAQ-9171 has four 32-bit general-purpose counter/timers built in. You can access these counters through an installed,
nnnnhardware-timed digital C Series module such as the NI 9401 or NI 9402 for applications that involve quadrature encoders, PWM,
nnnnevent counting, pulse train generation, and period or frequency measurement.
nnnnThe cDAQ-9171 chassis is shipped with the following:
nnnn- USB cable with a thumbscrew lock for strain relief
nnnnNI-DAQmx driver software is shipped with every chassis and includes the following:
nnnn- LabVIEWSignalExpress LE for simple data-logging applications
nnnn- API for LabVIEW, ANSI C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET
nnnn- DAQ Assistant code generation for NI LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, and Measurement Studio
nnnn- Example programs for all supported languages
nnnn- NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) for system configuration and test
