Description
The Part Number for this device is 193193B-01 (779624-01), indicating a specific model within the product line. It falls under the category of PXI Multifunction DAQ, making it a versatile tool for data acquisition tasks. The Model of this device is PXI-6238, which specifies its unique design and capabilities within the NI product range.
The Description of the PXI-6238 is detailed as NI PXI-6238, Iso (Cur: 8 AI, 2 AO; 30V: 6 DI, 4 Sourcing DO). This highlights its isolated current capabilities for analog input and output, as well as digital input and sourcing digital output, at a specified voltage. The device is equipped with 16 AI Channels, providing 16 Bits resolution at a maximum speed of 1.25 MS/s. Additionally, there are 2 AO Channels for analog output, 6 DI Channels for digital input, and 4 DO Channels that are capable of sourcing.
One of the key features of this DAQ module is its Bank Isolation, which ensures that each bank operates independently without interference, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of measurements. For maintenance of its precision, the device supports Auto-calibration with an onboard EEPROM that stores both factory and user-defined calibration constants.
The PXI-6238 is compatible with a wide range of Supported Sensors, including Strain Gauges, Thermocouples, Thermistors, Angular Encoders, Linear Encoders, and RTDs. This compatibility broadens the device’s application across various measurement and monitoring tasks. It incorporates a single Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), essential for converting analog signals into digital form for further processing.
Furthermore, the device features an NI-PGIA (Programmable Gain Instrumentation Amplifier), which is critical for optimizing signal resolution. This feature allows for adjustments
