NI-9236

The NI‑9236 measures dynamic strain on all channels simultaneously, allowing for synchronized, high-speed measurements. This capability is important for applications, such as impact tests, that require comparison across many channels at a particular instant in time. The NI‑9236 includes built-in voltage excitation for quarter-bridge sensors. It also has 60 VDC isolation and 1,000 V rms transient isolation, providing high‑common‑mode noise rejection and increased safety.

Applications and Use Cases of NI-9236
