Description
The PXI-6030E, part number 185214R-01, is a versatile data acquisition device designed for a wide range of applications. This model boasts 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels and 2 analog output channels with 16-bit resolution, catering to various measurement needs. Furthermore, it is equipped with 2 counters of 24-bit each, alongside a 1 frequency scaler of 4 bits, enhancing its functionality in complex data logging tasks.
With 8 digital I/O lines, this device provides ample connectivity for handling digital signals, making it suitable for integrated systems requiring both analog and digital data processing. The PXI-6030E operates at a maximum sampling rate of 100 KS/s, ensuring accurate and timely data acquisition for high-speed signals.
One of the standout features of the PXI-6030E is its support for more than 70 signal conditioning options, offering unmatched versatility in handling a wide range of sensors and signal types. Whether dealing with bipolar or unipolar inputs, this device ensures reliable data capture and processing. The accompanying NIDAQmx driver software facilitates easy integration and control within automated systems, simplifying setup and operation.
Maintenance is straightforward with a recommended calibration interval of 1 year, ensuring long-term accuracy and reliability. The device’s output impedance is exceptionally low at 0.1 Ω max, minimizing signal distortion and ensuring high-quality output signals. Additionally, it can drive currents of ±5 mA, accommodating a broad range of external devices.
Connectivity is robust with a 68-pin male SCSI-II I/O connector, ensuring secure and reliable connections to other devices and systems. Despite its powerful features, the PXI-6030E remains compact with dimensions of 6.3 x 3.9 inches, allowing for easy integration into PXI racks and enclosures. However, it is important to note that this model has been declared obsolete by National Instruments, which may affect availability and support.
