Recommended Sensors and Accessories for a complete test system
Mini-TC thermocouple bundle
Great general purpose thermocouple measurement system with a focus on simplicity
This simple bundle includes NI's entry-level 4-channel USB thermocouple bundle with mini-jack connectors for a plug-and-play experience from your PC to the mini-tc thermocouple sensor from Omega. Paired with NI's no-code programming software, FlexLogger, it's easier to pack up and take you test on the road or move between labs.
Isolated thermocouple bundle
Ideal for electrical systems like motors or electrical appliances and consumer electronics
The isolated thermocouple measurement bundle has the channel-channel isolation needed to test electrical network components like motors and appliances, up to 250 VRMS
High-channel thermocouple bundle
NI’s most popular thermocouple module with the best price per channel and channel density
The high-channel thermocouple bundle is ideal for general purpose thermal tests that require multiple test points or thermal chambers where multiple DUTs are tested in parallel. Need even more channels? Scale your system by moving to a multi-slot chassis that leverages the same software and the same module.
Entry-level pressure bundle
Simple, entry-level system for multiple sensors testing in parallel.
This simple, entry-level 4-channel USB pressure bundle uses an NI Voltage Input Module and has spring terminal connectivity and simultaneous sampling across all channels. It contains NIST-traceable calibration, a channel-to-earth ground double isolation barrier for safety and noise immunity, and high common-mode voltage range.
High output pressure bundle
Pressure module with the best price per channel and channel density
This 16-channel USB pressure system has spring terminal connectivity and simultaneous sampling across all analog input channels. Each channel provides a plus/minus 10-volt measurement range and can output 3.2 MB/s of data at the maximum sampling rate.
High-channel pressure bundle
Great general purpose pressure measurement system with a focus on simplicity
This high-channel voltage is ideal for general purpose tests. The module has 16 AI Differential or 32 AI Single-Ended channels with push-in spring terminal connectivity, in addition to overvoltage protection between input channels and common (COM).
