I have some questions about using cRIO with vibrating wire crackmeters. I am designing a structural health monitoring system which involeves 6 vibrating wire crackmeters(GEOKON) to monitor the crack on steel infratructure.
My questions are shown below:
1. Whether Geokon 4420 crackmeter is compatible with CRIO_VW module?
2. I checked on NI website. The Tutorial 14671 states the vibrating wire sensors, CRIO_VW1 and CRIO. Where can I find the cost and detailed informaiton, data sheets and mannuals, of cRIO-VW module, cRIO-D-mux multiplexer controller, Mux8_2 multiplexer?
2. Is it possible to connect 6 or even more crackmeters with only ONE slot/channel on the chassis?
Because the system has more than 120 electrical sensors, I want to use as less slots on the chassis as possible. It seems the VM module need one slot and an extra slot is needed for crio_D_Mux if I want to extend to more than one sensor.
4. How can I order cRIO-VW module, cRIO-D-mux multiplexer controller, Mux8_2 multiplexer? I can not find them from NI order website.
5. what will be the cost and the delivery time to western Canada?
Thanks.

Greetings one-one
The CRIO_VW module is a 3rd party C series compatible module developed by Pizzi Instruments. For detailed information check the Downloads section on the right side of this link:
