How Do NI Wireless Data Loggers Work?
PC-based data loggers from National Instruments combine easy-to-use LabVIEW SignalExpress software with flexible data acquisition hardware to create customizable data-logging solutions for a nearly infinite variety of applications. NI Wi-Fi data acquisition (DAQ) devices use industry-standard IEEE 802.11 and Ethernet networks to extend sensor measurements beyond the desktop for remote applications. Figure 1. NI WLS-9163 carriers and C Series modules provide IEEE 802.11 connectivity and signal conditioning to make traditional analog sensors wireless. Each NI Wi-Fi DAQ device is a combination of an NI WLS-9163 wireless carrier and an NI C Series measurement module. C Series modules provide direct sensor connectivity and built-in signal conditioning for a variety of measurements, including temperature, strain, acceleration, current, and voltage. In addition to the WLS-9163, you can use C Series modules interchangeably for measurement and control applications with different chassis, includ
