cDAQ-9173

The cDAQ-9173 provides USB Type-C connectivity for small, portable sensor measurement systems. This chassis features the plugandplay functionality of USB to connect sensor and electrical measurements. With the cDAQ9173, you can control the timing, synchronization, and data transfer between C Series I/O modules and an external host. You also can use this chassis with a combination of C Series I/O modules to create a mix of analog I/O, digital I/O, and counter/timer measurements. Additionally, the cDAQ9173 features four 32bit general-purpose counters and timers. With multiple timing engines, you can run four hardware-timed operations simultaneously, with three independent rates for analog input. The cDAQ9173 includes a desktop power supply, but requires regional power cord.
