Description
The PXI-6040E is a multifunction DAQ device that belongs to the PXI category, offering a wide range of features for various data acquisition tasks. This device comes with part numbers 777484-01 and 184361A-01, indicating its unique identification for purchase and support.
This model is known for its 12-Bit resolution, which ensures precise measurement capabilities. It is equipped with 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, providing flexibility in connecting a variety of sensors and signals. Moreover, it boasts a maximum sampling rate of 500 kS/s, allowing for the capture of fast transient signals.
The PXI-6040E features 2 analog outputs and supports a software-controlled single-point input rate of up to 50 kHz, enhancing its versatility in applications. It is also compatible with LabVIEW, enabling users to seamlessly integrate it into their measurement and automation setups. The device’s measurement sensitivity is as fine as 0.008 mV, ensuring that even the smallest changes in signal can be detected.
Connectivity is facilitated by a 68-pin male 0.050 D-type I/O connector, ensuring robust and reliable connections. The external trigger input impedance is rated at 10 kΩ, and the device supports various input modes including non-referenced single-ended, differential, and referenced single-ended (RSE) for flexible signal interfacing.
Engineering units scaling is a notable feature, provided with measurement-ready virtual channels, making the configuration process more intuitive. The included NI PGIA amplifier guarantees high-quality signal amplification, ensuring that the measurements are not only precise but also reliable.
For optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes is advised, and the device should be calibrated at least once a year to maintain its accuracy. The physical dimensions of the PXI-6040E are 6.3 x 3.9 inches, making it compact enough for integration into various setups without consuming excessive space.
It is designed to operate within the temperature range of 0° to 55° C, accommodating a wide range of environmental conditions. However, it is important to note that this model is now considered obsolete, but it remains available from Apex Waves, providing an opportunity for users to acquire this capable device for their DAQ needs.
