Description
The PCI-6221 is part of the M Series and falls under the category of PC-based Multifunction DAQ devices. It is identified by part numbers 779066-01 and 779418-01. This device is equipped with 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, boasting an analog input resolution of 16 bits. The data acquisition rate can reach up to 250 kS/s, providing robust performance for various applications.
In terms of output capabilities, the PCI-6221 features 2 analog output channels, with an AO rate of 833 kS/s for a single channel and 740 kS/s when both channels are used simultaneously. This allows for high-speed data output, suitable for a wide range of tasks. The device operates within a signal environment of 3.3 V or 5 V, offering versatility in connection with different types of external equipment.
The analog input absolute accuracy is specified at 3100 uV, ensuring precise measurements. Although the PCI-6221 is not equipped with simultaneous sampling, it compensates with two 32-bit counters/timers and supports digital triggering, enhancing its functionality in complex setups. Additionally, it provides correlated digital I/O (DIO) for the 68-pin version, further extending its utility in various data acquisition and control scenarios.
