Platform Modules
Platform modules and controllers integrate with modular hardware platforms that allow you to combine different types of modules in a custom system that leverages shared platform features.
NI offers three hardware platforms—CompactDAQ, CompactRIO, and PXI—though all platforms may not be represented in this category.
C Series Strain/Bridge Input Module
C Series Strain/Bridge Input Module
The C Series Strain/Bridge Input Module works with higher-channel-count, dynamic strain measurement systems. Modules can acquire measurements from up to eight channels, with compatibility options for quarter-, half-, and full-bridge sensors. The C Series Strain/Bridge Input Module is ideal for application channels requiring measurements at particular times, such as impact tests. It includes built-in voltage excitation, as well as transient isolation for high-common-mode noise rejection and improved safety.The C Series Strain/Bridge Input Module includes the NI-DAQmx driver and configuration utility that simplify configuration and measurements. NI-DAQmx supports NI programming environments as well as Python, ANSI C, C#.NET, and MathWorks MATLAB® software.

PXI Strain/Bridge Input Module
PXI Strain/Bridge Input Module
The PXI Strain/Bridge Input Module features up to eight channels that support quarter-, half-, or full-bridge sensors at speeds up to 102.4 kS/s. This module provide increased accuracy, high data throughput, and a range of synchronization features. The module is ideal for dynamic strain, load and pressure measurements, and test cell installations requiring accuracy and flexibility. Some models include optional features such as remote sensing, internal bridge completion, and shunt calibration options per channel.The PXI Strain/Bridge Input Module includes the NI-DAQmx driver and configuration utility that simplify configuration and measurements. NI-DAQmx supports NI programming environments as well as Python, ANSI C, C#.NET, and MathWorks MATLAB® software.
