Description
The PCI-6250 is a PC-based Multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device with the part number 779069-01, manufactured by National Instruments. This device leverages the advanced NI-MCal calibration technology to ensure precise measurements and includes the NI-PGIA 2 amplifier for enhanced signal conditioning.
It is fully supported by NI-DAQmx driver software, facilitating easy integration and development, and is compatible with NI LabVIEW data-logging software, allowing for sophisticated data analysis and visualization. The device offers 8 differential (or 16 single-ended) analog input channels, providing flexibility for various sensor connections.
The PCI-6250 boasts a timing resolution of 50 ns and can achieve a maximum sampling rate of 1.25 MS/s for single-channel operations and 1 MS/s per channel in multi-channel configurations. It supports an input voltage range from +0.1 V to +10 V and can handle a maximum working voltage of +11V. The onboard input FIFO memory can store up to 4095 samples, ensuring efficient data management.
Additionally, the device features 24 digital I/O channels and 2 general-purpose, 32-bit resolution counters/timers, enhancing its utility for complex measurements and control tasks. It provides various clock sources, including internal (0.1 MHz, 20 MHz, 80 MHz) and external (0-20 MHz), offering versatility in timing configurations.
The PCI-6250 has been announced as a legacy product by National Instruments but remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support for existing installations.
