Description
The PCIe-6351 is a part of the PC-based Multifunction DAQ category, bearing the part number 781048-01. It is an X Series DAQ characterized by its 16 AI (Analog Inputs), 24 DIO (Digital I/O), and 2 AO (Analog Outputs). This device leverages the PCI Express interface, ensuring compatibility with 1 to 16 PCI Express slots, thereby offering flexibility across different system configurations.
The Analog Inputs support 16 differential or 8 single-ended channels, with a 16-bit resolution and a maximum sample rate of 1.25 MS/s. For outputs, the device provides 2 channels, also at a 16-bit resolution, but with a higher maximum sample rate of 2.86 MS/s. On the digital front, the PCIe-6351 affords 16 digital input and 8 digital output lines through DMA, enhancing data transfer efficiency.
External triggers on this device feature software-selectable polarity and are compatible with both PFI or RSTI standards. It incorporates four 32-bit, 100 MHz counters/timers, and a single-channel frequency generator, broadening its application scope. Connection to the device is facilitated through a 68-pin VHDCI I/O connector, ensuring a reliable and secure physical link.
The PCIe-6351 is powered by NI-STC3 technology and is supported by NI-DAQmx 9.0 driver software, which simplifies integration and streamlines development processes. It weighs 0.35 lbs. and has dimensions of 3.9 x 6.6 inches, making it compact and easy to integrate into a variety of setups. Furthermore, calibration services are available, with options for either NIST accredited calibrations or basic in-house calibration, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements.
