Description
The AT-AO-6 is a legacy DAQ device, part numbers 181435-01, 776541-01, and 181435-06, manufactured by National Instruments. This analog output board is designed for ISA computers and is categorized under legacy DAQ devices.
It is compatible with several software platforms including LabVIEW, VirtualBench, BridgeVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measure, and ComponentWorks. The device operates effectively on older versions of Windows including Windows NT, 98, and 95.
The board boasts 6 similar output channels which provide the flexibility of unipolar or bipolar output capabilities. Each channel offers a resolution of 12-bits, ensuring precise data output. The maximum update rate achievable by the AT-AO-6 is 300 kS/s, making it suitable for various high-speed applications.
Featuring a FIFO buffer size of 1024 samples, the device can handle significant amounts of data without the risk of data loss. The output coupling type is DC, and it is designed to work with a load impedance of up to 500 pF. The board includes a 50-pin male input/output connector for easy integration into existing systems.
In addition to analog outputs, the AT-AO-6 includes 8 standard TTL digital lines with a 5V source voltage and operates on a slave bus type. It also features 7 RTSI triggered lines for enhanced connectivity and synchronization capabilities.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the AT-AO-6 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing continued support for users of legacy systems.
