Description
The AT-AO-6 is a legacy DAQ device part of the category of Legacy DAQ Devices. It carries the part numbers 181435-36, 776541-01, and 181435-06. This device is a Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) specifically designed for analog output applications, as indicated by its description, CCA, AT-AO-6 (CE). Manufactured by National Instruments, the AT-AO-6 supports a variety of software including LabVIEW, VirtualBench, BridgeVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measure, and ComponentWorks.
It is compatible with older Windows operating systems, namely Windows NT, 98, and 95. As an analog output board, it uses an ISA, Slave Bus type for connectivity. The board is equipped with 6 output channels and can handle both unipolar and bipolar signals. It offers a current output range of 4 to 20 mA and boasts a maximum update rate of 300 kS/s.
The resolution per channel is 12-bits, ensuring precise control and measurement. For output coupling, it utilizes a DC type, and it includes a FIFO buffer of 1024 samples for efficient data handling. The load impedance capacity is up to a maximum of 500 pF. Connectivity is facilitated through a 50-pin male I/O connector. Additionally, it features 8 standard TTL, 5V digital lines and 7 RTSI lines for triggered operations.
Despite its obsolete status, as announced by National Instruments, the AT-AO-6 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users relying on this specific model for their legacy systems.
