Description
The PXI-6221 is a multifunctional DAQ device belonging to the PXI category, designed to meet a variety of data acquisition needs. This device is identifiable by its part numbers, 779629-01 and 779113-01, ensuring you have the correct model for your specific application needs.
When it comes to input and output capabilities, the PXI-6221 excels with 16 analog inputs (AI), each capable of 16 bits at 250 kS/s, and 16 analog outputs (AO). This is complemented by 24 digital I/O (DIO) ports, providing ample connectivity for most data acquisition tasks. Additionally, it features 2 32-bit counters/timers, enhancing its utility for a wide range of timing and counting applications.
Connectivity is facilitated through a 68-pin VHDCI I/O connector, and the device requires a shielded or unshielded cable along with a connector block, which can be either screw terminals or BNC termination, for optimal connection and signal integrity.
Software support includes compatibility with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, offering a versatile development environment for programming and data analysis. This software compatibility ensures that the PXI-6221 can be easily integrated into existing systems or used to develop new applications.
The device is lightweight, weighing in at only 5.7 oz, making it easy to handle and install. It operates best within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 70 °C. The humidity range for operation is 10% RH to 90% RH (non-condensing), ensuring reliable performance in a variety of environmental conditions.
To ensure the durability and reliability of the PXI-6221, it is designed to withstand operational vibrations, making it suitable for use in industrial environments where such conditions may be prevalent.
