Description
The PCI-1200 is a legacy Data Acquisition (DAQ) device characterized by its versatility and performance in data collection and processing. This device supports part numbers 777386-01 and 777097-01, ensuring a broad compatibility range for various applications.
It features 8 Analog Input (AI) Channels that are configurable as either four differential or eight single-ended inputs, providing flexibility in connecting sensors or signals. The maximum sampling rate achievable is 100 kS/s, which facilitates the capture of rapid signal changes for analysis.
The core of its analog-to-digital conversion relies on a 12-bit successive-approximation type A/D Converter, ensuring precise data representation. Furthermore, it is equipped with 2 D/A Converters (DACs), each offering 12-bit resolution with voltage outputs, enabling effective signal generation for testing or control purposes.
For digital interfacing, the PCI-1200 boasts 24 Digital I/O (DIO) Lines that are TTL-compatible, allowing for the integration with other digital systems or devices. It also includes 3, 16-bit Timer/Counters for timing I/O operations, enhancing its utility in complex measurement or control tasks.
Software compatibility is ensured with NI-DAQ, which simplifies the development of custom software solutions or the integration with existing systems. Physical connectivity is provided via a 50-pin male I/O connector, facilitating easy and reliable connection to external signals and sensors.
This device adheres to the PCI Local Bus Specifications, Revision 2.2, ensuring compliance with industry standards for bus interfaces. Despite its capabilities, the power consumption remains modest at 425 mA at +5 VDC.
The PCI-1200 is designed with practicality in mind, featuring dimensions of 6.9 x 4.2 in and a weight of 1.7 lb, making it suitable for integration into various systems without significant space or weight concerns. It operates reliably within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C
