Description
The National Instruments DAQCard-500 Multifunction I/O Board is a versatile data acquisition card designed for mobile or space-constrained applications. It utilizes the PCMCIA bus type, making it suitable for laptop and portable computers. This board comes with different part numbers based on the operating system it is intended for, including 183044-01 (General), 777086-01 (Windows), and 777086-02 (Mac).
It supports a variety of software platforms such as LabVIEW, Lookout, VirtualBench, and LabWindows, offering flexibility in application development and system integration. The DAQCard-500 boasts a maximum sampling rate of 50 kS/s and a resolution of 12-bit, ensuring precise data capture for a wide range of signals.
The board features 8 single-ended analog input channels, allowing for the monitoring of multiple signals. Its successive approximation ADC type ensures accurate signal conversion while maintaining data integrity. Additionally, it includes 8 standard TTL digital I/O lines for interfacing with external devices and sensors.
For precise timing and control applications, it is equipped with 3 timing I/O channels that offer 16-bit resolution and can handle up to 10 MHz max source frequency. Despite its numerous input options, the DAQCard-500 does not have analog output channels, focusing instead on data acquisition and digital control tasks.
The input impedance of the board is 1 GΩ parallel with 40 pF, which is suitable for a wide range of sensor types. It is compatible with accessories such as the CB-27 Terminal Block and the PR27-30F cable (Part Number: 777131-01), which enhance its connectivity and application scope. The DAQCard-500 operates as a slave device in bus configurations, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems.
