Description
The PCI-6115 is a PC-based Multifunction DAQ part of the S Series, specifically designed for a 66MHz PCI Bus. With a part number of 184529K-51, and alternates including 778534-01, 778554-01, and 184529D-03, this device is versatile and adaptable for various configurations. The device is succinctly described as the NI PCI-6115 S Series Multifunction DAQ (for 66MHz PCI Bus) Board Only, indicating its focus on providing high-quality data acquisition capabilities without additional peripherals.
It features 4 analog input channels, which are pseudo differential with a 12-bit resolution, ensuring precise measurement capabilities. The analog input FIFO buffer size varies, with 16 MS available for part number 778534-01, and 32 MS for 778554-01, allowing for significant data storage and processing capabilities. The device boasts a sampling rate per channel that ranges from a maximum of 10 MS/s to a minimum of 20 kS/s, catering to both high-speed and low-speed data acquisition needs.
In addition to its analog input capabilities, the PCI-6115 also offers 2 analog output channels with a 12-bit resolution and a maximum update rate of 4 MS/s, enabling efficient data output. It also features 8 digital I/O channels that support TTL/CMOS signals, providing flexibility for digital communication. Furthermore, the device is equipped with 2 counters, each with a 24-bit resolution, allowing for precise counting and timing operations.
The absolute accuracy for analog input is noted to be 184 mV, indicating the precision level of the measurements. Power is conveniently supplied through the BUS power interface, simplifying the setup and reducing the need for external power sources. The recommended warm-up time for optimal performance is 15 minutes, ensuring the device is ready for accurate data collection. Lastly, to maintain its precision, a calibration period is recommended at least once a year, underscoring the importance of regular maintenance for sustained accuracy and reliability in measurements.
