Overview
The National Instruments USB-9211A is a data acquisition module with
integrated signal conditioning that provides plug-and-play connectivity
via USB for faster setup and measurements. It is designed especially for
thermocouple measurements with 24 bits of resolution for superior
accuracy and built-in sensors for cold-junction compensation. In addition,
this module includes 250 V_rms channel-to-earth ground isolation for
safety, noise immunity, and high common-mode voltage range.
Software
The NI USB-9211A uses NI-DAQmx high-performance, multithreaded
driver software for interactive configuration and data acquisition on
Windows OSs. All NI data acquisition devices shipped with NI-DAQmx
also include NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE configuration-based
data-logging software.
Common Applications
The USB-9211A is ideal for a number of applications where small size
and portability are essential, such as:
• Portable data logging – log temperature data quickly and easily
• Academic lab use – obtain academic discounts for quantities
of five or more (visit ni.com/academic for details)
• Environmental monitoring – monitor environmental
temperature conditions
• Embedded OEM applications
• In-vehicle data acquisition
