Description
The DAQCard-516 by National Instruments falls under the category of Legacy DAQ Devices. It carries the part number 183210-01 and has an alternative replacement part number of 183207-01 specifically for hardware replacements only. This device showcases compatibility with older operating systems including Windows 2000/NT/9x and Mac OS, making it versatile for a range of vintage computing environments.
For operation, the DAQCard-516 requires the NI-DAQ driver. It is also compatible with a wide range of application software such as LabVIEW, BridgeVIEW, Measure, VirtualBench, Lookout, and Component-Works. This wide compatibility ensures that the DAQCard-516 can be integrated into various data acquisition and monitoring setups with ease.
The device offers a sampling rate of up to 50 kS/s, providing ample speed for many data collection applications. Users have the option to utilize 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog input channels, offering flexibility in connection and signal measurement. With a 16-bit resolution, the DAQCard-516 ensures high-quality data output for precise analysis.
Additionally, the DAQCard-516 is equipped with two 10 MHz timers/counters with 16-bit resolution and 8 digital I/O lines, enhancing its utility in complex data logging and control tasks. It operates on a slave bus interface, with operational power requirements of 60 mA at +5 VDC and a reduced power draw of 20 mA at +5 VDC in power-down mode, making it an energy-efficient choice for continuous or intermittent data collection activities.
Connection to the DAQCard-516 is facilitated through a 27-pin male I/O connector. For extended functionality, optional accessories such as the CB-27 I/O connector block and the PR27-30F I/O connector with 0
