National Instruments has announced the launch of NI cDAQ-9188XT which is an 8-slot CompactDAQ Ethernet chassis designed for distributed or remote measurements in extreme environments. It enables the engineers of military and aerospace industries to acquire data and avoid costly repeat tests. cDAQ-9188XT can withstand temperatures from 40 to 70 °C, 50 g of shock and 5 g of vibration.
In addition, the chassis is the first in the NI CompactDAQ platform to offer an onboard watchdog with defined safe states to help protect your 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.
Chad Chesney, Director of Data Acquisition Marketing, National Instruments, said, From single-signal benchtop measurements made in laboratories to distributed, rugged or standalone measurements made in some of the most extreme conditions on earth, it is amazing how our customers’ applications have evolved over the past 25 years. By continuing to invest in NI CompactDAQ, we will contribute to even more engineering accomplishments over the next quarter century.
The NI CompactDAQ platform also has native integration with NI LabVIEW system design software, which provides signal processing libraries and user interface controls designed for data visualization.
