CompactDAQ Chassis

CompactDAQ Chassis

CompactDAQ Chassis are modular data acquisition platforms designed by National Instruments for integrating C Series Modules into flexible measurement systems. They provide the communication interface, power management, synchronization, and hardware foundation required for sensor acquisition and automated testing applications.

PXISOURCE provides NI CompactDAQ Chassis solutions for industrial measurement, sensor data acquisition, environmental monitoring, automotive testing, laboratory research, and distributed measurement applications.

What Is a CompactDAQ Chassis?

A CompactDAQ Chassis is the core hardware component of a CompactDAQ system. It provides multiple slots for installing C Series Modules and enables engineers to build customized data acquisition systems according to different measurement requirements.

CompactDAQ Chassis support various communication methods including USB, Ethernet, and network-based connectivity, allowing flexible deployment from laboratory environments to industrial field applications.

A complete CompactDAQ system typically includes a CompactDAQ Chassis, C Series Modules, and optionally a CompactDAQ Controller for standalone operation.

Types of NI CompactDAQ Chassis

USB CompactDAQ Chassis

USB CompactDAQ Chassis provide direct connection between CompactDAQ systems and computers through USB interfaces. They offer a simple and portable solution for laboratory testing, engineering development, and temporary measurement applications.

USB-based CompactDAQ systems are widely used for sensor testing, educational laboratories, product validation, and research measurement tasks.

Ethernet CompactDAQ Chassis

Ethernet CompactDAQ Chassis provide network-based data acquisition capabilities for distributed measurement applications. They allow engineers to place measurement hardware close to the test location while managing data remotely.

These chassis are commonly used in industrial automation, machine monitoring, environmental testing, and large-scale measurement systems.

CompactDAQ Multi-Slot Chassis

Multi-slot CompactDAQ Chassis support multiple C Series Modules, allowing engineers to combine different measurement functions within a single system.

They are suitable for complex applications requiring simultaneous measurement of temperature, voltage, current, strain, vibration, and digital signals.

CompactDAQ Network Measurement Chassis

Network CompactDAQ Chassis provide flexible deployment options for remote monitoring and distributed sensor measurement systems.

They are ideal for applications where measurement locations are separated from the main control computer or test station.
