ZSOM-Mini

The ZSOM-Mini is an off-the-shelf hardware module from NI Embedded-Specialty Alliance Member Schmid Elektronik, integrating the NI System-on-Module (SOM) sbRIO9651 on a tiny carrier board. It is designed for miniaturized measurement, control and monitoring applications and can be fully programmed with LabVIEW RT and LabVIEW FPGA. The board is about the size of the SOM itself and provides all the features on two rows of screw terminals.

To activate specific board regions and functionalities, some GPIOs have to be set accordingly.
