This user guide describes how to use the National Instruments 
WLS/ENET-9163 carrier and lists specifications.

The NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier provides a wireless or Ethernet data 
acquisition interface for a select number of C Series I/O modules. Refer to 

ni.com/daq

 for information about which C Series I/O modules are 

supported by the NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier. 

The NI WLS/ENET-9163 carrier combines with an NI C Series I/O module 
to form an NI WLS/ENET-9000 Series device, as shown in Figure 1. 

Note

Only the NI WLS-9163 carrier comes with an antenna for wireless deployment.
