Description
The PCI-6259 is a PC-based Multifunction DAQ designed for a variety of applications. This device, with part numbers 190996E-01L and 779072-01, offers a robust set of features designed to meet the needs of a wide range of measurement and control tasks.
At the heart of the PCI-6259 is the NI-STC 2 system controller, which provides a solid foundation for high-performance data acquisition. The device utilizes NI-MCal calibration technology to ensure accurate measurements over time. With a 16-bit M Series device resolution, users can expect precise data output for their experiments or monitoring tasks.
The PCI-6259 is equipped with 32 single-ended or 16 differential analog inputs, providing flexibility in connecting various sensors or signals. It supports a maximum sampling rate of 1.25 MS/s for single-channel operations and 1 MS/s for multi-channel operations, ensuring that even rapid changes in the signal can be captured accurately. The input range of +0.1 V to +10V allows for a wide variety of signal types to be measured.
When it comes to input impedance, the device boasts a high impedance of >10 GΩ when powered on, dropping to 820 Ω when powered off. This high input impedance minimizes the loading effect on measured signals, preserving signal integrity. The PCI-6259 also excels in signal quality, featuring low noise levels and excellent crosstalk performance at -75 dB, ensuring that measurements are both accurate and reliable.
For output capabilities, the PCI-6259 features 4 analog output channels, each with 16-bit resolution and capable of speeds up to 2.86 MS/s. This allows for precise control signals to be generated, suitable for driving actuators or for use in signal synthesis.
In summary, the NI PCI-6259 is a highly versatile and capable multifunction DAQ card,
