Overview
The NI 9213 is a high-density thermocouple module for NI C Series carriers designed for higher-channel-count systems. With this module, you can add thermocouples to
mixed-signal test systems without taking up too many slots.
The NI 9213 is similar to the NI 9211 four-channel thermocouple module except it features four times the channel count and almost 100 times the sample rate.
You can use up to eight NI 9213 modules in an NI CompactDAQ chassis or CompactRIO chassis for 128 thermocouple measurements in a single chassis, or deploy a single
module in any of the USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi carriers for C Series modules.
Each shipping kit contains:
-NI 9213 module with spring-terminal connectivity
-NI 9940 backshell for cabling and strain relief
-Spring-terminal tool for signal wire insertion

Application and Technology
Channel Density for High-Channel-Count Systems
Temperature measurements can vary greatly over the different components in a machine, the surface of a device, or the volume of a given space. By taking more temperature
measurements, you can better quantify the thermal gradients and achieve more accurate test results. The NI 9213 was designed with density in mind to enable a large number of
thermocouple channels in a compact space. With up to eight NI 9213 modules installed in an NI CompactRIO or NI CompactDAQ chassis, you can measure up to 128
thermocouples in a system that fits inside a 9 by 9 by 26 cm box. For even more portable temperature measurement systems, you can install the NI 9213 into one of the single
module carriers for NI C Series modules to make 16-channel thermocouple measurements over USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi (802.11b/g).
CJC and Autozero for a More Accurate Measurement
The NI 9213 has built-in cold-junction compensation (CJC) to eliminate error caused by the physical connection of the sensor to the instrumentation. The contact of two dissimilar
metals creating a voltage potential is the principle on which thermocouples are designed, and, as such, the contact of the dissimilar thermocouple metal with the spring terminal
must be removed from the calculation. This is done through a process known as cold-junction compensation, with the cold junction being the mating of the sensor to the
instrument. All NI instrumentation designed for thermocouple measurement contains CJC circuitry including the NI 9211, NI 9219, and NI 9213. In addition to CJC, the NI 9213
features an extra, internal-only channel known as the autozero channel. By measuring the autozero channel at the beginning of each channel scan, you can eliminate further
offset errors to provide a more accurate temperature measurement.
C Series Compatibility
The NI C Series hardware family features more than 50 measurement modules and several chassis and carriers for deployment. With this variety of modules, you can mix and
match measurements such as temperature, acceleration, flow, pressure, strain, acoustic, voltage, current, digital, and more to create a custom system. Install the modules in one
of several carriers to create a single module USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi system, or combine them in chassis such as NI CompactDAQ and CompactRIO to create a
mixed-measurement system with synchronized measurements. You can install up to eight modules in a simple, complete NI CompactDAQ USB data acquisition system to
synchronize all of the analog output, analog input, and digital I/O from the modules. For a system without a PC, CompactRIO holds up to eight modules and features a built-in
processor, RAM, and storage for an embedded data logger or control unit. For higher-speed control, CompactRIO chassis incorporate a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
that you can program with NI LabVIEW software to achieve silicone-speed processing on I/O data from C Series modules.

assembled in one box. When you configure your system with the NI Standard System Assurance Program, you can select from available NI system driver sets and application
development environments to create customized, reorderable software configurations. Your system arrives fully assembled and tested in one box with your software preinstalled.
When you order your system with the standard program, you also receive system-specific documentation including a bill of materials, an integration test report, a recommended
maintenance plan, and frequently asked question documents. Finally, the standard program reduces the total cost of owning an NI system by providing three years of warranty
coverage and calibration service. Use the online product advisors at ni.com/advisor to find a system assurance program to meet your needs.
