Description
The PXI Multifunction DAQ system, model PXI-6052E, is a highly versatile data acquisition unit ideal for a wide range of applications. This unit is identified by its part numbers 777962-01 and 186408E-01. It is designed to handle complex data acquisition tasks with its 16-Channel configuration, which can operate as 16 single-ended or 8 differential channels, with the flexibility to select the configuration software-wise per channel.
This DAQ unit boasts a 16-Bit resolution, ensuring high-quality data representation. It is capable of a maximum sampling rate of 333 kS/s, making it suitable for capturing fast-changing signals. The unit is equipped with 2 analog outputs and 8 digital I/O lines, providing ample connectivity for various sensors and actuators. Moreover, it supports 15 analog input signal ranges, offering great flexibility in handling different signal amplitudes.
The 24 bits counters/timers resolution and 4 bits frequency scaler resolution further enhance its capabilities in precise timing and frequency measurements. The input voltage range is quite versatile, supporting ±10 V for a 20 V range and ±50 mV to 0-100 mV for a 100 mV range, accommodating a wide range of sensor outputs.
There are 6 trigger lines available, including 1 star trigger, for synchronizing measurements and actions. The DAQ system also benefits from 3 DMA channels for efficient data transfer, minimizing CPU usage. Connectivity is facilitated through a 68-pin male SCSI-II I/O connector, ensuring reliable and robust connections.
To achieve optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time is specified, ensuring that the unit reaches a stable operating condition before performing any critical measurements.
