272x Here
: These modules are deeply integrated with software environments like NI VeriStand and LabVIEW . Custom device add-ons for VeriStand enable users to configure bank-to-bank connections and set individual channel modes (e.g., "Resistance" or "RTD Temperature") directly within a real-time testing framework. Key Hardware Features
: Many 272x modules include built-in modes to simulate RTD behavior. Instead of calculating resistance manually, users can input a desired temperature, and the hardware uses standard RTD curves (like Pt100 or Pt1000) to set the appropriate resistance.
: The primary purpose is to provide a precise, programmable resistance value across multiple channels. This is crucial for testing how a controller reacts to different sensor inputs, such as temperature changes or fuel levels. : These modules are deeply integrated with software
: Simulating engine coolant temperature, oil pressure sensors, and throttle positions to verify ECU logic under normal and fault conditions.
The NI 272x series allows engineers to simulate real-world physical conditions without needing the actual physical sensors. Instead of calculating resistance manually, users can input
: Depending on the specific model, these cards can offer dozens of independent channels in a single slot.
: Being designed for industrial and automotive testing, they often include features to handle faults and ensure that the simulation hardware does not damage the unit under test (UUT). Use Cases in Engineering : Simulating engine coolant temperature
The modules are often part of the PXI or PXI Express platform, allowing them to be synchronized with other measurement and simulation hardware.
