51.2 kS/s/ch, 2-Channel C Series Universal Analog Input Module

Overview

The NI-9218 is designed for multipurpose measurements. It offers built-in support for accelerometer, powered sensor, full-bridge, and voltage measurements as well as quarter-bridge, half-bridge, 60 V, and current measurements using measurement-specific adapters. Each channel is individually selectable, so you can perform different measurements on each channel. The NI-9218 is ideal for creating universal test systems for automotive, off-highway, and data-logging systems.

Software (3)

Product (Part Number) Description	Recommended use cases
FlexLogger Professional (785748-3501) FlexLogger Professional, Subscription License, Download	Recommended for automated, extensible data logging with NI data acquisition (DAQ) hardware. Automate tests using alarms, triggers, and events, and expand capabilities with plug-ins. Key Features Multichassis synchronization—Synchronize multiple NI chassis for accurate, time-aligned measurements across high channel counts. Logging triggers—Start, stop, or segment data recording automatically based on sensor thresholds or other conditions to capture only what matters. Events—Respond to specific occurrences during a test, such as activating equipment when a condition is met (for example, start cooling fans when temperature exceeds a limit). Automation APIs—Control and monitor FlexLogger from external applications (Python, NI LabVIEW, or NI TestStand), enabling integration into larger automated test systems. Calculation channels—Perform real-time math on acquired data (averages, RMS, custom formulas) to track derived measurements as the test runs. Plug-ins—Extend FlexLogger with custom LabVIEW or Python plug-ins to integrate third-party hardware, perform custom analysis, or connect to lab systems. CAN/LIN logging—Acquire and log automotive network data alongside sensor measurements for complete vehicle or subsystem testing.	View Product Details
LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit Full (788450-35) NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit Full, Subscription License, Download	Recommended for performing audio and distortion measurements, frequency analysis, frequency response measurements, and transient analysis. Included solutions comply with evolving IEC standards. Includes 50 ready-to-run NI LabVIEW examples to help you get started with applications.	View Product Details
LabVIEW+ Suite (788509-35) NI LabVIEW+ Suite, Subscription License, Download	Recommended for engineers building full test and validation systems where modular code development and higher-level frameworks are needed to accelerate development for shorter time to market. The LabVIEW+ Suite includes the following products: NI LabVIEW—Provides a graphical programming environment for test system development, enabling connectivity to any instrument and fully integrated user interfaces. NI TestStand—Eliminates the need for time-intensive in-house sequencer development and maintenance by providing an off-the-shelf test management software for validation and production test. NI DIAdem—Saves engineers hundreds of hours of manual data analysis and report creation with automation. NI FlexLogger™ software—Simplifies data acquisition and data logging with interactive measurement setup for NI DAQ hardware. NI InstrumentStudio™ software—Provides a central location for configuration, measurement, and automation.	View Product Details
