Description
The PCI-MIO-16XE-50 Multifunction I/O board is a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for Power Mac systems. It has a part number of 777385-02 and falls under the category of PC-based Multifunction DAQ. This device is engineered to provide versatile data acquisition functionalities, thanks to its state-of-the-art features.
One of the standout specifications of the PCI-MIO-16XE-50 is its sampling rate, which is guaranteed at 20 kS/s. This high sampling rate ensures that data is captured with precision and accuracy. The board utilizes a Successive Approximation ADC converter type, further enhancing its performance in data conversion tasks.
In terms of input and output capabilities, the board boasts 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, providing flexibility in connecting various sensors or signals. It also offers 2 analog output channels with a 12-bit resolution, allowing for precise control signals to be generated. The maximum update rate for analog output is also 20 kS/s, matching the sampling rate for a synchronized data acquisition system.
Moreover, the device is equipped with 3 DMA channels to facilitate fast and efficient data transfer without burdening the host computer’s CPU. The 68-pin male SCSI-II type connector ensures robust and reliable physical connections to other devices or external sensors.
For software compatibility, the PCI-MIO-16XE-50 supports NI-DAQmx driver software, making it easy to integrate and use with various application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows, and Measurement Studio. This wide compatibility range ensures that developers can easily incorporate the device into their projects without significant hurdles.
Despite its advanced features, the board is lightweight, weighing only 9.8 oz, and has compact dimensions of 6.9 x 4.2 in. This makes it easy to install in a variety of systems without requiring much space. However, it is important to note that this device has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments but remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users who rely on
