Description
The PCI-6251 is a PC-based multifunction DAQ with a part number of 190996C-03L (779070-01). This device is designed to deliver high-performance data acquisition capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
It features 16 AI (Analog Inputs), 24 DIO (Digital Input/Output), and 2 AO (Analog Outputs). The resolution of this device is 16-bit, ensuring precise data measurement and analysis. The maximum sampling rate can reach up to 1.25 MS/s (Mega Samples per second) for Single Channel operations and 1 MS/s for Multiple Channels, allowing for the capture of fast transient signals.
The PCI-6251 supports 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels and has 2 output channels. Additionally, it boasts 24 bi-directional digital I/O channels, providing flexibility for interfacing with various digital devices. An integrated NI-PGIA 2 amplifier enhances signal amplification and quality.
This DAQ device is compatible with multiple operating systems thanks to support from NI-DAQmx Base, Measurement Hardware DDK, and NI-DAQmx software. It is also designed to work seamlessly with several Application Development Environments (ADEs) including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, and Microsoft Visual Studio. The Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) serves as the software configuration tool, simplifying setup and configuration tasks.
Regarding signal conditioning compatibility, the PCI-6251 is compatible with NI SCXI and SCC systems, allowing users to tailor the device for specific applications. Furthermore, it features a digital line drive capability of 24 mA, ensuring robust performance and reliability.
