Description
The PC-TIO-10 is a legacy Data Acquisition (DAQ) device with the part number 181195C-01, manufactured by National Instruments. This device falls under the category of Legacy DAQ Devices and is designed to be compatible with NI-DAQ driver software, LabVIEW, and LabWindows/CVI application software. It supports operating systems such as Windows and DOS, making it versatile for various computing environments.
The key components of the PC-TIO-10 include two Am9513A AMD System Timing Controllers (STCs) and a Motorola MC6821 Peripheral Interface Adapter (PIA), which are essential for its operation and functionality. It features two edge-sensitive terminated inputs, digital input/output lines, and the capability to connect to external TTL signals, providing a wide range of input and output options.
Among its functions, the PC-TIO-10 is capable of wave generation, frequency shift keying (FSK), pulse-spread measurement, counting time duration, emitting alarm beeps, and recording event durations. These functions make the device highly versatile and useful in various applications within data acquisition and signal processing fields.
For connectivity, it uses a 50-pin male ribbon-cable connector, ensuring easy integration with other hardware components. The power requirement for the PC-TIO-10 is typically 5 VDC at 0.6 A, but it can go up to 5 VDC at 1.4 A depending on the usage scenario. Its physical dimensions are 3.9 x 4.76 in., making it compact and easy to incorporate into various setups.
The device operates within a temperature range of 0° to 70 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –55° to 150 °C. It is designed to function in environments with a humidity range of 5% to 90%, non-condensing, ensuring reliability and durability in various conditions.
Although it has been announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PC-TIO-10 is still available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing ongoing support for users of this legacy device.
