Description
The PXI-6250 is a multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device categorized under PXI Multifunction DAQ. It has a part number of 191325C-04, with an alternative part number 779116-01 available for reference. This device is designed to cater to a wide range of applications with its 16 analog inputs and 24 digital I/O, providing flexibility for various measurement and control tasks.
The DAQ operates with a 16-bit resolution, ensuring precise data acquisition. It is capable of handling a maximum voltage input of over 10 V with signal conditioning, making it suitable for a wide array of signal types. The device’s data transfer capabilities include DMA or interrupts, allowing for efficient and adaptable data management.
Software compatibility is robust, including support for NI-DAQmx, LabVIEW SignalExpress LE, and Measurement & Automation Explorer, offering a versatile software environment for users to work in. The operating temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and storage temperature range of -20 °C to 70 °C, alongside a humidity range of 10% RH to 90% RH (non-condensing), ensure the device’s reliability in various environmental conditions.
For applications requiring durability under physical stress, the PXI-6250 is designed to withstand vibration levels of 0.3 grms (5 to 500 Hz) when operating and 2.4 grms (5 to 500 Hz) when non-operating. Weighing in at 7.5 oz, it is both lightweight and reliable for various applications.
Although declared obsolete by National Instruments, the PXI-6250 is still available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. It is recommended to have the device calibrated annually or every two years to maintain accuracy and performance. The calibration interval is officially set at 2 years, ensuring long-term reliability and precision in measurements.
