ITM adds NI-9217 compatibility to iTestSystem

NI 9217 RTD cDAQ Module

We areĀ pleased to announce that the NI-9217Ā resistance temperature detector (RTD)Ā analog input module can now be used with iTestSystem and NI CompactDAQ.Ā  The NI-9217 featuresĀ 4 analog inputs, 24-bit resolution, and an aggregate sampling rate ofĀ 5 S/s (1.25 S/s per channel) in high accuracy mode.Ā  The high accuracy mode has built in 50/60 Hz noise rejection and less than a 1 Ā°C accuracy error over its entire operating temperature range.

Tip: Since the NI-9217 is the first CompactDAQ RTD module on the compatibility list,Ā  a new RTD channel type was added to iTestSystem.Ā  Right click on Channels in the project tree and select Create New > RTD.
