NI 6009 control solenoid using distance counter

[camr_tna]

hi!

I am working on a system wherein i have a distance measuring counter that will trigger the solenoid for impact then the microphone will capture and analyze the impact signal.

The solenoid output energy  is 65-70 N or 740g and will make an impact depending on the input distance.

We need to purchase a data acquisition card that will perform I/O for this method.

NI 6009 is recommended. Is this possible? If not, what is the best cheapest option to use?

I have no background of electronics or instrumentation so I will only depend on Labview tutorials to make this work.

I would highly recommend getting with your local NI representative.  Then you can sit down with them and go over all of your requirements to make sure you get something you can actually use.
