Description
The PCI-1200 is a multifunctional data acquisition board part numbers 777386-01 and 777097-01, designed for a wide range of applications. This model features 8 analog input (AI) channels, which can be configured as either four differential or eight single-ended inputs, catering to various measurement needs.
The device boasts a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s, ensuring precise and timely data capture. Its analog input and output signals are processed by a 12-bit successive-approximation type A/D converter and two 12-bit D/A converters with voltage outputs, respectively, offering high-resolution signal conversion capabilities.
For digital interfacing, the PCI-1200 is equipped with 24 lines of TTL-compatible digital I/O (DIO), along with three 16-bit timer/counters, providing versatile control and measurement options. Connectivity is facilitated through a 50-pin male I/O connector, ensuring easy integration with external devices.
This board is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specifications, Rev 2.2, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of PCI systems. The analog input range is set to a bipolar ±5 V by default, while the analog output range can be configured for either bipolar or unipolar outputs, offering flexible signal conditioning options.
The PCI-1200 has a power consumption of 425 mA at +5 VDC, and weighs 1.7 lb, with dimensions of 6.9 x 4.2 in. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C, and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –55 to 150 °C, ensuring reliable performance in various environments.
Although its obsolete status has been announced by National Instruments, the PCI-1200 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing continued support for users of this versatile data acquisition board.
