Description
The National Instruments PXI-6602 is a versatile PXI Timing I/O module that is designed to meet a wide array of timing and measurement needs. With part numbers 18574.5, 777557-01, 185745-01, this module falls under the category of PXI Timing I/O, highlighting its specialized function in precision timing, measurement, and control applications.
One of the key features of the PXI-6602 is its ability to perform a variety of functions including frequency measurements, encoder position measurements, period measurements, event counting, pulse-train and pulse generation, and pulse-width measurements. These capabilities make it an essential tool for engineers and scientists who require accurate time-based measurement and control.
The module boasts three high-speed DMA transfers that can operate simultaneously, enhancing its data handling capabilities and ensuring efficient data transfer without overloading the system processor. Additionally, its compatibility with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital I/O and digital debouncing filters extends its versatility in integrating with various digital systems and improving signal integrity.
Equipped with six trigger lines and 32-bit resolution, the PXI-6602 provides ample flexibility and precision for complex timing and synchronization tasks. Its static data transfer method is reliable for consistent performance across applications.
The module features eight up/down counters/timers, offering extensive options for counting and timing operations. The ability to measure and source frequencies up to 80 MHz, combined with prescaling options of 8X or 2X on every counter (which can also be deactivated), ensures that it can adapt to various high-speed measurement scenarios.
Software compatibility is a strong point for the PXI-6602, supporting NI-DAQmx driver software; LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. This wide range of compatible software platforms allows for seamless integration into existing systems and simplifies the development of custom applications.
Finally, with dimensions of 6.3 inches x 3.9 inches, the PXI-6602 is compact enough to fit into standard PXI slots, making it ideal for rack-mounted systems and ensuring efficient
