Description
The PXI-6602 is a Counter/Timer Module manufactured by National Instruments. It falls under the category of PXI Timing I/O and carries part numbers 777557-01 and 185745-01. This module is adept at performing a variety of functions, including frequency measurements, encoder position measurements, period measurements, event counting, pulse-train and pulse generation, and pulse-width measurements.
It supports three high-speed DMA transfers simultaneously, ensuring efficient data handling. Compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels makes it versatile for integration with various systems. Additionally, it is equipped with digital debouncing filters, enhancing its reliability in sensing and signal processing.
The module features six trigger lines and offers a 32-bit resolution, allowing for precise measurements and control. Data transfer is performed via static data transfer methods, and it includes eight up/down counters/timers, further broadening its application scope. The ability to measure and source frequency up to 80 MHz, coupled with options for 8X or 2X prescaling on every counter (with the option to deactivate), adds to its flexibility.
It is designed for use with NI-DAQmx driver software and is compatible with application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. The physical dimensions of the module are 6.3 inches x 3.9 inches, making it compact and suitable for various setups. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –20°C to 70°C. Its ability to withstand vibrations during operation further underscores its durability and reliability for industrial applications.
