Description
The AT-AO-6 is a part of the Legacy DAQ Devices category, bearing the part numbers 181435-06B, 776541-01. This model is designed to be compatible with PC AT/EISA systems and supports operating systems such as Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 95. It features 6 similar output channels with an output capability that can be configured as either unipolar or bipolar.
The device offers a maximum update rate of 300 kS/s and provides a channel resolution of 12-bits. The output coupling type for the AT-AO-6 is DC, and it comes equipped with a FIFO buffer size of 1024 samples, ensuring efficient data management during operations. It is designed to handle a current sink ranging from 4 to 20 mA and can support a load impedance of up to 500 pF.
Connectivity is facilitated through a 50-pin male input/output connector, and the device includes 8 standard TTL, 5V digital lines for additional interfacing options. The AT-AO-6 operates on a slave bus type and features 7 triggered RTSI lines, enhancing its integration capabilities with other systems.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the AT-AO-6 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, offering a valuable option for legacy system maintenance and continuity.
