Description
The PCI-6255 is a high-performance, PC-based Multifunction DAQ device designed to meet a wide range of applications. It features an impressive array of specifications that cater to various data acquisition needs. The part number for this device is 193588D-01L, which is important to note for verification and ordering purposes.
This device boasts 80 analog inputs, which include 40 differential channels that can be programmable as single-ended, providing flexibility in configuring the device for specific needs. Additionally, it is equipped with 24 digital I/O channels, each of which is individually programmable, allowing for precise control and data collection. The analog outputs are not left behind, with 2 channels that offer 16-bit resolution and can achieve up to 2.86 MS/s, ensuring high-quality output signals.
When it comes to the input voltage range, the PCI-6255 operates within +0.1 V to +10 V, accommodating a broad spectrum of sensors and input signals. The sampling rate is another highlight, with capability up to 1.25 MS/s for single-channel operations and up to 750 kS/s for multichannel scenarios, making it suitable for high-speed data acquisition tasks.
The device is also equipped with 2 counters/timers, featuring an 80 MHz frequency and 32-bit resolution, which are essential for precise timing and control applications. The input terminal resolution is 16-bit, ensuring accurate data representation. Moreover, with a Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) of 100 dB and an output impedance of 0.2 Ω, the PCI-6255 guarantees excellent signal fidelity and minimal output loading.
All analog channels on the PCI-6255 are DC-coupled, providing a direct, unaltered path for the signals. For connectivity, the device uses 2 x 68-pin VHDCI connectors, which support high-density, reliable connections to a wide range of signal sources and peripherals.
