Description
The National Instruments PXI-6602 is a versatile PXI Timing I/O device that offers a wide range of functionalities suitable for various applications. It has part numbers 185745B-01, 777557-01, and 185745-01, indicating its various iterations and compatibility options. This device falls under the category of PXI Timing I/O, highlighting its specialized use in timing and synchronization tasks within PXI systems.
The PXI-6602 model is designed to perform a multitude of functions including frequency measurements, encoder position measurements, period measurements, event counting, pulse-train and pulse generation, and pulse-width measurements. These capabilities make it an ideal choice for engineers and scientists who require precise timing and measurement tools in their PXI systems.
One of the standout features of the PXI-6602 is its ability to handle three high-speed DMA transfers simultaneously, enabling efficient data handling and processing without taxing the host system’s CPU. This is complemented by its TTL/CMOS-compatible digital I/O and digital debouncing filters, ensuring reliable input and output operations across a range of digital signal levels.
The device is equipped with six trigger lines and offers a 32-bit resolution, providing ample precision for most measurement and control tasks. Data transfer is handled in a static manner, ensuring simplicity and reliability in communication. Furthermore, the PXI-6602 boasts eight up/down counters/timers, offering extensive capabilities for counting and timing operations.
With the ability to measure and source frequencies up to 80 MHz, along with prescaling options of 8X or 2X on every counter (which can be deactivated if not needed), the PXI-6602 is highly adaptable to a wide range of measurement tasks. Its compatibility with NI-DAQmx driver software, along with support for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, ensures that developers can easily integrate the PXI-6602 into their projects with minimal hassle.
