National Instruments cDAQ-9188XT ethernet chassis

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

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.
