Overview

nnnn

The NI cDAQ-9171 is a bus-powered, 1 -slot NI CompactDAQ USB chassis designed for small, portable sensor measurement

nnnn

systems. Combine the cDAQ-9171 and one of the over 50 NI C Series measurement-specific modules to create an analog output,

nnnn

digital I/O, or counter/timer measurement system.

nnnn

Modules are available for a variety of sensor measurements including thermocouples, RTDs, strain gages, load and pressure

nnnn

transducers, torque cells, accelerometers, flow meters, encoders, and microphones. NI CompactDAQ systems combine sensor

nnnn

measurements with voltage, current, and digital signals to create custom measurement systems with a single, simple USB cable back

nnnn

to the PC, laptop, or netbook.

nnnn

The cDAQ-9171 has four 32-bit general-purpose counter/timers built in. You can access these counters through an installed,

nnnn

hardware-timed digital C Series module such as the NI 9401 or NI 9402 for applications that involve quadrature encoders, PWM,

nnnn

event counting, pulse train generation, and period or frequency measurement.

nnnn

The cDAQ-9171 chassis is shipped with the following:

nnnn

- USB cable with a thumbscrew lock for strain relief

nnnn

NI-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
