Description
The PCI-1200 is a legacy Data Acquisition (DAQ) device with part numbers 777386-01 and 777097-01. This device falls under the category of Legacy DAQ Devices, emphasizing its significance in the realm of data acquisition technologies of its time. The model PCI-1200 is designed to facilitate a variety of applications through its comprehensive features.
It boasts 8 Analog Input (AI) Channels, which are configurable as either four differential or eight single-ended inputs. This flexibility allows for a wide range of signal measurements. The device achieves a Maximum Sampling Rate of 100 kS/s, ensuring timely and efficient data collection. The core of its analog-to-digital conversion relies on a 12-bit successive-approximation type A/D Converter, providing precise and accurate data conversion.
Additionally, the PCI-1200 is equipped with Two 12-bit D/A Converters (DACs) with voltage outputs, enhancing its capability to handle various output tasks. For digital communication and control, it features 24 lines of TTL-compatible Digital I/O (DIO), and for timing and counting purposes, it includes Three 16-bit Timer/Counters. The device operates with NI-DAQ software, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with data acquisition and analysis systems.
The I/O Connector is a 50-pin male, designed for robust and reliable physical connections. In terms of compliance, it adheres to the PCI Local Bus Specs, Rev 2.2, ensuring it meets industry standards for PCI devices. The Power Consumption is rated at 425 mA at +5 VDC, indicating its efficiency and compatibility with standard power supplies.
The device’s physical attributes include a weight of 1.7 lb and dimensions of 6.9 x 4.2 in., making it compact and easy to integrate into various setups. It operates within an Operating Temperature Range of 0 to 50 °
