Description
The PXI-6221 is a multifunction DAQ device, part of the PXI category, designed for a wide range of applications. It features part numbers 779629-01 and 779113-01. This device offers 16 analog inputs with a resolution of 16 bits and a maximum sampling rate of 250 kS/s, along with 16 analog outputs. For digital interfacing, it provides 24 digital I/O channels, complemented by two 32-bit counters/timers for precise timing and counting operations.
Communication capabilities include computerized I/O and digital shots, ensuring versatility in connection and control options. The PXI-6221 requires either one shielded or unshielded cable and one connector block, which can be either screw terminals or BNC, for connectivity. It supports a variety of software platforms, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, making it adaptable to different programming environments.
Among its special features are isolation, ±20 mA current I/O, support for 24 V digital logic levels, and digital debounce filters, enhancing its utility in complex measurement and control tasks. Calibration is recommended annually to ensure accuracy and reliability. The device utilizes a 68-pin VHDCI connector type and conforms to the standard 3U PXI dimensions, with a weight of 5.7 oz.
It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored between -20 °C to 70 °C. The humidity tolerance is from 10% RH to 90% RH (non-condensing), ensuring reliable performance under varying environmental conditions. Vibration resistance is rated at 0.3 grms when operating and 2.4 grms (5 Hz to 500 Hz) in non-operating conditions, making the PXI-6221 a robust choice for demanding applications.
