National Instruments PXIe-4357 RTD module for PXI Express

National Instruments has announced the NI PXIe-4357 RTD module, the latest addition to its SC Express sensor measurement family for PXI Express. The high-performance module is optimised for temperature measurements with Pt100 RTD sensors for a variety of thermal monitoring applications.

The module integrates sensor-specific signal conditioning with 24-bit ADCs to sample all 20 channels at 100 S/s and offers typical accuracies of up to 0.09°C. To expand a system’s channel count, engineers can integrate additional NI PXIe-4357 modules or use other SC Express modules to add complementary sensor inputs including thermocouples, strain gauges, accelerometers and FBG optical sensors to the same system.

Features include: offers 20 channels that integrate 24-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters with antialiasing and low-pass filters; delivers the claimed most reliable measurements with full support on LabVIEW Real-Time; synchronises with other members of SC Express family within the same PXI chassis, across chassis or across facilities.
