NI-9221

The NI‑9221 performs single-ended analog input. The wider voltage range makes this module well suited for industrial-level, automotive, or even smaller-cell battery measurements. There are two connector options for the NI‑9221: a 36‑position spring‑terminal connector and a 37-position D‑SUB connector.

Applications and Use Cases of NI-9221

The NI-9221 C Series Analog Input Module is a C Series analog input module designed for high-voltage signal measurement (up to ±60 V) with simultaneous sampling. It offers channel-to-channel isolation and high noise immunity, making it suitable for applications requiring safe and accurate high-voltage data acquisition.
