Description

Key Features of the NI-9205 C Series

• High-density multi-channel input

The NI-9205 offers an industry-leading high-density channel configuration, integrated within a single module.32 single-ended inputs or 16 differential inputs, all channels share a single programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA),channels share a single 16-bit ADC via a multiplexer (MUX). This design maximizes channel density and reduces the unit channel cost of the system while ensuring measurement accuracy.

• Programmable input range

Each channel supports four programmable input ranges:

• High-performance analog front end

Input impedance: >10 GΩ in parallel with 100 pF (power-on state), ensuring low load effect on the measured signal. Input bias current: ±100 pA, minimizing measurement errors. Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR): 100 dB from DC to 60 Hz, effectively suppressing common-mode noise. Analog bandwidth: 370 kHz, supporting high-frequency signal acquisition. Crosstalk rejection: -65 dB for adjacent channels, -70 dB for non-adjacent channels (@100 kHz).

• Isolation and Protection

• Sampling and Conversion

Sampling Method: multiplexed sampling. Maximum Sampling Rate: 250 kS/s (CompactRIO and CompactDAQ chassis). Conversion Time: 4.00 μs (CompactRIO/CompactDAQ); 4.50 μs (R-series extended chassis). ADC Resolution: 16-bit, guaranteed no missing codes.
