Description
The PCI-1200 is a legacy Data Acquisition (DAQ) device, part of a category of legacy DAQ devices, with part numbers 777386-01 and 777097-01. It offers a flexible configuration with 8 analog input channels, which can be set as either 4 differential or 8 single-ended inputs. This versatility is complemented by a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s, making the PCI-1200 suitable for a range of data collection needs.
The device employs a 12-bit successive-approximation A/D converter to ensure accurate data conversion. Additionally, it is equipped with two 12-bit D/A converters that have voltage outputs, enhancing its functionality in various applications.
For digital interfacing, the PCI-1200 provides 24 TTL-compatible digital I/O lines and three 16-bit timer/counters, offering significant flexibility for users needing to control external devices or measure time-dependent events. It is compatible with NI-DAQ software, which facilitates easy integration and use.
The device connects via a 50-pin male I/O connector and is designed to be compliant with PCI Local Bus Specs Rev 2.2. The analog input and output ranges are both bipolar ±5 V by default, allowing for a wide range of signal types to be accurately captured and generated.
With a power consumption of 425 mA at +5 VDC, the PCI-1200 is an efficient choice for many systems. It weighs 1.7 lb and has dimensions of 6.9 x 4.2 in, making it compact enough for integration into various setups without requiring excessive space.
The device operates within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –55 to 150 °C, ensuring reliable performance across a broad range of environmental conditions. Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing continued support for users of this capable DAQ device.
