Description
The PXI-6221 is a multifunction DAQ device belonging to the PXI category, designed to meet various data acquisition needs. This device is identified by part numbers 779629-01 and 779113-01, ensuring users can easily find the right model for their technical requirements.
It is equipped with 16 AI (Analog Input) channels, providing 16 bits of resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 250 kS/s. Additionally, it features 16 AO (Analog Output) channels and 24 DIO (Digital Input/Output) channels, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. The device also includes two 32-bit counters/timers, enhancing its functionality in complex measurement tasks.
The PXI-6221 supports SCXI Control Capability, making it suitable for PXI/SCXI Combo Chassis, and requires one shielded or unshielded cable and one connector block, which can be either screw terminals or BNC termination, for connection. It is compatible with various software environments, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, allowing for flexible and efficient programming.
Among its notable DAQ features are isolation, ±20 mA current I/O, 24 V digital logic levels, and digital debounce filters, providing reliable performance in challenging environments. The device has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes and requires calibration at least once a year to maintain accuracy.
For connectivity, it uses 1 68-pin VHDCI I/O connector. The PXI-6221 weighs 5.7 oz and operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C. It has a storage temperature range of -20 °C to 70 °C and can operate in humidity levels ranging from 10% RH to 90% RH (non-condensing). The device is built to withstand vibrations, with an operating tolerance of 0.3
