Description
The product with the part number 781101-01 falls under the category of PC-based R Series and is identified by the model name PCIe-7842. It is described as the NI PCIe-7842R LX50 Multifunction RIO, a device designed to offer a wide range of functionalities catering to various computational and processing needs.
This device boasts 8 Analog Inputs (AI) with a 16-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 200 kilo-samples per second (kS/s), alongside 8 Analog Outputs (AO) which also have a 16-bit resolution but with a higher throughput of 1 Mega-sample per second (MS/s). In addition to these analog capabilities, the PCIe-7842R is equipped with 96 lines of Digital I/O (DIO), providing ample capacity for digital signal processing and control.
For efficient data transfer, it incorporates 3 DMA Channels, facilitating rapid movement of data without taxing the CPU. Connectivity is ensured through 3 68-pin female high-density VHDCI I/O Connectors, enabling robust and reliable connections to a wide array of external devices and sensors.
The device is notably compact and lightweight, with a mass of only 0.28 lb and dimensions measuring 6.7 x 4.3 inches. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C, ensuring reliability under a variety of environmental conditions. Furthermore, it can be stored safely within a temperature range of –20 °C to 70 °C.
For those requiring precise and consistent performance, calibration services are available for this device. It is recommended that calibration be performed either annually or every two years to maintain optimal accuracy and functionality.
