Choose from more than 50 hot-swappable I/O modules with integrated signal Four general-purpose 32-bit counter/timers built into chassis (access through digital module) Run up to seven hardware-timed analog I/O, digital I/O, or counter/timer operations simultaneously Stream continuous waveform measurements with patented NI Signal Streaming technology Built-in BNC connections for external clocks and triggers (up to 1 MHz) Measure in minutes with NI-DAQmx software and automatic code generation The NI cDAQ-9178 is an 8-slot NI CompactDAQ USB chassis designed for small, portable, mixed-measurement test systems. Combine the cDAQ-9178 with up to eight NI C Series I/O modules for a custom analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and counter/timer measurement system. Modules are available for a variety of sensor measurements including thermocouples, RTDs, strain gages, load and pressure transducers, torque cells, accelerometers, flow meters, and microphones. NI CompactDAQ systems combine sensor measurements with voltage, current, and digital signals to create custom, mixed-measurement systems with a single, simple USB cable back to the The cDAQ-9178 has four 32-bit general-purpose counter/timers built in. You can access these counters through an installed, hardware-timed digital module such as the NI 9401 or NI 9402 for applications that involve quadrature encoders, PWM, event counting, pulse train generation, and period or frequency measurement. Use the two built-in BNC connections to share clocks or triggers up to 1 MHz. The cDAQ-9178 chassis is shipped with the following: - AC/DC converter that plugs directly into the chassis - USB cable with a thumbscrew lock for strain relief Power cord sold separately. For conditions where EMI could be an issue, the 7.0mm EMI Suppression Ferrites can be used to suppress EMI for BNC cabling to NI-DAQmx driver software is shipped with every chassis and includes the following:
