Description
The 776285-01 is a part of the Legacy DAQ Devices category, specifically modeled as the NB-DIO-24. This device is labeled as OBSOLETE but was prominently used for its sharp and reliable digital input/output capabilities. Designed for Macintosh NuBus systems, it showcases a unique compatibility that marks its era of technology.
For connections, the NB-DIO-24 can be integrated with a variety of accessories and boards, including the SC-206X Series (with SC-2051 Cable Adapter Board), CB-50 Connector Block, ER-8/16 Relay Accessory, AT-DIO-32F Digital I/O Board, and the NB1 Ribbon Cable. This versatility in connectivity options demonstrates the board’s adaptability to different system requirements and use cases.
The device allocates 2.0 A power per slot, with 1.0 A available for accessories, ensuring sufficient power distribution for connected devices. The board itself consumes 0.8 A, showcasing its efficiency in power usage. It features 24 digital I/O lines, divided into three ports with eight lines each. This structure allows for a broad range of data input and output configurations, catering to various application needs.
Each port is equipped with handshaking circuitry, enhancing communication reliability between connected devices. This ensures stable and accurate data transfer, which is crucial for precision-based applications. The NI-DAQ driver software supports the NB-DIO-24, providing ease of integration and use within data acquisition systems.
In terms of functionality, the NB-DIO-24 is comparable to the NB-PRL, with the primary difference being the connector type. This highlights the board’s flexibility and its ability to meet specific connectivity requirements. However, it is important to note special considerations, such as its incompatibility with applications involving multiple chassis and the reservation of some pins for SCXI use. These notes are critical for users to ensure
