Hello,
I am constructing a DAQ system to take voltage measurements from several accelerometers and a torquemeter, while giving flexibility of more sensors in the future. We have tentatively selected the NI-9215 as the module for the above sensors. We would just be collecting data from a rotating machinery test rig and saving that data locally. I'm at the chassis selection stage and I'm having a hard time finding an answer to the following:
Thanks!

The 9178 would just connect to a normal PC via USB. It would give you a flexible platform for measurement-based apps.
A Real-Time chassis would run a a real-time capable OS rather than Windows. If you needed to do automatic control at greater than human speeds (very roughly speaking, more than a couple times a second), then you might need to look into the Real-Time chassis.
From the description you gave, the 9178 ought to be sufficient.
