Description
The NI X Series product line features the USB-6361 model, which is designed to cater to a wide range of data acquisition and signal processing needs. This model is available with different part numbers based on the type of connector: 782256-01 for the VHDCI connector, 781442-01 for the Screw Terminal, and 782255-01 for BNC connectors, ensuring versatility for various applications.
It boasts 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, providing flexibility in handling different types of signals. Additionally, the USB-6361 is equipped with 2 analog output channels, enabling it to output processed signals or control other devices directly. For tasks requiring precise timing and counting, this model includes 4 counters with 32-bit resolution, capable of performing edge counting, pulse, pulse width, semi-period, period, position measurements (X1, X2, X4, Channel Z, Two Pulse encoding), and more.
The counter output applications are diverse, supporting frequency division, time-equivalent sampling, and pulse train with active updates, making the USB-6361 a versatile tool for various measurement and control tasks. The base clock frequency for the counters/timers can reach up to 100 MHz (Max) and down to 100 kHz (Min), offering a wide range of timing resolutions.
With options for gate, source, and aux input routing, including analog trigger and internal signals, the USB-6361 provides comprehensive input routing options to accommodate different operational needs. The physical dimensions vary with the model: the Mass Termination Model measures at 7.3 x 6.8 x 1.4 inches and weighs 2.1 oz, while the Screw Terminal Model is slightly larger, measuring 10.4 x 6.8 x 1.4 inches, accommodating the additional connectivity options.
