The nature of physical system testing is changing rapidly as measurement systems migrate from the control room and closer to the device under test. While this shortens installation time, reduces sensor cabling costs, and improves measurement accuracy, it creates challenges with system synchronization and management, especially with current industrial networking technologies. NI is actively working to help define TSN, the next evolution of the IEEE 802.1 Ethernet standard, to deliver distributed timing synchronization, low latency, and convergence of general and mission-critical network traffic. The cDAQ-9185 and cDAQ-9189 offer precise timing synchronization with TSN to simplify and improve the scalability of distributed, synchronized systems. Features and benefits:
Precise synchronization timing on the network, which eliminates the need for long, physical timing cables and ensures highly synchronized measurements for accurate analysis.
Simple daisy-chaining via an integrated network switch for quick setup and expansion in distributed applications.
Reliable operation in harsh environments with an operating temperature range of -40° to 70°C, shock resistance up to 50g and vibration resistance up to 5g.
Software abstraction through the NI-DAQmx controller that automatically synchronizes multiple chassis for easy programming.
 
For more than a decade, engineers have used CompactDAQ with LabVIEW to quickly customize DAQ systems to meet their application needs. With NI's investment in the latest synchronization and communication technologies, the new CompactDAQ chassis are equipped to meet the current and emerging needs of distributed test and measurement applications, delivering high-performance, rugged DAQ systems capable of acquiring data from widely distributed sensors.
