Description
The National Instruments SCXI-1600 Data Acquisition Module, part number 188407C-01 (776572-1600), falls under the SCXI & Legacy category. This model is designed for high-performance data acquisition and is compatible with USB Data Acquisition Modules for SCXI.
The SCXI-1600 boasts a 16-bit ADC resolution and can handle sampling rates up to 200 kS/s. It is capable of managing up to 352 maximum analog signals, making it an extremely versatile tool for a wide range of applications. Additionally, it supports powered or hot insertion, enhancing its ease of use in various setups.
System timing is controlled via the National Instruments DAQ-STC, ensuring precise data collection and synchronization. The module is equipped with timing groups for analog input, divided into three categories for improved data management. The front panel of the SCXI-1600 features four LEDs, which serve to monitor the V+ & V– rails and provide active and ready state indication.
A dedicated BNC connector on the front panel is provided for calibration, ensuring the device maintains accuracy and reliability. The SCXI-1600 requires a recommended warm-up time of 30 minutes before use and should be calibrated at least once a year to sustain its performance.
Driver software compatibility includes NIDAQmx, which is compatible with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. This allows for seamless integration into existing systems and simplifies the setup process.
The device measures 7.2 x 6.8 x 1.2 inches, making it compact enough for various applications without sacrificing performance. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Calibration options are extensive, with availability for NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, as well as basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration.
