The NI-9218 Module is a 51.2kHz, 24bit, 2-Channel C Series universal analog input module. It provides versatility when developing test plans because it is compatible with accelerometers, powered sensors, full-bridge sensors, voltage and current measurements, and quarter, half, and full bridge strain gauges.
Our test engineers use this data collection module in rugged measurement system designs that require measurements from 12Vdc powered sensors or measurement flexibility. On a recent iTestSystem rotating machinery troubleshooting project, we were able to collect and analyze data from a 12Vdc powered light tachometer and an IEPE accelerometer using only the NI-9218, a cDAQ chassis, and iTestSystem.

Here at Integrated Test & Measurement, we love diving into the nuts and bolts of how things work. While setting up a project using 120-ohm strain gages with the NI-9237 module, I found myself reflecting on the history and technical reasons why 120 ohms became the original standard for strain gages. As it turns out,…
