51.2 kS/s/ch, 2-Channel C Series Universal Static 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.

NI-9218 Accessories and Software
- Product (Part Number)DescriptionRecommended use casesFlexLogger 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.
