NI USB‑8506/1 English Description
NI USB‑8506/1 (Part Number: 784663‑01) is a 1‑port USB 2.0 Local Interconnect Network (LIN) interface device for automotive and industrial bus communication, data logging, and control applicationsNI.
Full Product Description
The USB‑8506/1 is a bus‑powered USB‑to‑LIN adapter that works with the NI‑XNET driver suite to develop, test, and monitor LIN 2.0/2.1/2.2 networksNI. It requires no external power supply, drawing power directly from the USB bus (4.5–5.25 V)NI.It features an onboard DMA engine that transfers LIN frames and signals between the device and host PC without CPU interrupts, minimizing latency and reducing host processor loadNI. A 3‑pin COMBICON synchronization connector enables triggering and synchronization of the internal hardware timebase with other measurement devicesNI.
