USER GUIDE AND SPECIFICATIONS

NI USB-9219

4-Channel, 24-Bit, Universal Analog Input Module

This user guide describes how to use the National Instruments USB-9219 
and lists the device specifications.

Introduction

The NI USB-9219 provides a USB interface for four channels of universal 
analog input with integrated signal conditioning. The NI USB-9219 
consists of two components: an NI 9219 module, and an NI USB-9162 
carrier, as shown in Figure 1.
