Product Overview
As a carrier of C series modules,NI USB-9162 itself does not have signal conditioning or measurement functions,but it provides a unified installation and connection platform for various C series I/O modules(such as analog input,analog output,digital I/O,temperature input,etc.).Users can choose different types of C series modules to insert into NI USB-9162 according to specific application requirements to build a flexible and scalable data acquisition and control system,and then connect the system to the computer through the USB interface to achieve data transmission and control instructions.
Main Features
Flexible module configuration
Multi-module support:NI USB-9162 provides multiple C series module slots,which can usually accommodate multiple different types of C series I/O modules.Users can freely combine analog input,analog output,digital I/O and other modules according to the actual application signal type and quantity to meet diverse test and measurement needs.For example,in an industrial automation monitoring system,analog input modules can be inserted at the same time to collect analog signals such as temperature and pressure,and digital I/O modules can be inserted to read switch status and control relays.
Hot-swap function:supports hot-swap of C series modules,that is,the module can be safely inserted or removed when the system is powered on.This feature makes it more convenient for users to debug and maintain the system on site.Modules can be replaced or added without shutting down the entire system,which improves work efficiency and system availability.
Convenient USB connection
Plug and play:Connect to the computer through the USB interface,adopting the plug-and-play design concept.Users only need to plug the NI USB-9162 into the USB port of the computer,and the system will automatically identify the device and install the corresponding driver.There is no need for complex hardware configuration and installation process,which greatly simplifies the construction and deployment of the system.
High-speed data transmission:The USB interface provides a high data transmission rate,which can meet the needs of most data acquisition and control applications.The NI USB-9162 can transfer the collected data to the computer for processing and analysis in real time,and can also quickly respond to the control instructions issued by the computer to ensure the real-time and reliability of the system.
