Description
1. Product Title
National Instruments NI‑9234‑ 4‑Channel C‑Series Sound and Vibration Input Module
2. Product Overview
The NI‑9234 is a high‑performance simultaneous‑sampling dynamic signal acquisition module for NI CompactDAQ and CompactRIO platformsNI. It supports both IEPE accelerometers, microphones and non‑IEPE transducers such as tachometers and proximity probes, delivering 24‑bit high‑resolution measurement for vibration and acoustic signals. NI‑9234 provides software‑selectable 2 mA IEPE excitation current plus configurable AC/DC coupling. Each channel integrates auto‑adjusting anti‑aliasing filters that adapt according to sampling rate to suppress aliasing noise. It enables frequency‑domain analysis, order‑tracking and modal testing, capturing reliable dynamic waveform data for rotating‑machinery diagnostics and structural health evaluation, reducing measurement distortion in noisy industrial test environments.
