Description
The PXI-6132 is a multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device categorized under the PXI Multifunction DAQ series, specifically the S Series. It carries the part number 1886.11 and is also recognized by additional part numbers 779127-01 and 188611G-02. This device is equipped with a range of features designed to enhance its functionality and performance in various applications.
Among its notable features are mass termination linking, which simplifies the connection process for multiple signals, and the NI-STC3 timing technology, which ensures precise timing and synchronization for measurements. Furthermore, the PXI-6132 offers programmable input gains, allowing for flexible adjustment according to the signal levels being measured, and supports PCI Express streaming for efficient data transfer.
The device is capable of performing a variety of functions, including digitizing signals for analysis, conducting D/A conversion for signal generation, and measuring and controlling digital I/O signals. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications in different fields.
Control and timing of operations are managed by the DAQ-STC timing controller, which supports timing groups such as AI (analog input), AO (analog output), and general-purpose counter/timers. The timing resolutions available are either 50 ns or 10 µs, providing flexibility in meeting the timing requirements of different applications.
Operations supported by the PXI-6132 include the creation of single pulses or pulse trains, digital input/output functions, buffered waveform acquisition, and buffered period measurement. These operations are essential for comprehensive data acquisition and signal processing tasks.
Additionally, the device offers +5 V pins usage, which can be referenced to D GND to power external circuitry. It is important to note that these pins should not be linked to analog/digital ground or any other voltage source to avoid potential damage or performance issues.
The PXI-6132 has reached a mature status and has been announced by National Instruments. It is available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support and availability for users who rely on this advanced DAQ device for their applications.
