Description
The PXI-6259 is a multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device that falls under the category of PXI Multifunction DAQ. It is identified by part numbers 191325F-11L, 779632-01, and 191325F-01L. This device is equipped with 16 differential or 32 single-ended analog input channels, with a 16-Bit resolution and a sampling rate of 1.25 MS/s. Furthermore, it provides 48 digital I/O channels, along with 4 analog output channels.
Each channel on the PXI-6259 supports 7 programmable input ranges, offering flexibility for various input signal types. The maximum operating voltage is specified as ±11 V of AI GND, ensuring a wide range of input signal accommodation. The input impedance is exceptionally high, greater than 10 GΩ in parallel with 100 pF, for both AI+ to AI GND and AI- to AI GND configurations, which minimizes the loading effect on the measured signal.
The device boasts a timing resolution of 50 ns and a timing accuracy of up to 50 ppm for the sample state, which ensures precise timing for data acquisition tasks. It also supports 6 DMA channels, enhancing data transfer efficiency between the device and the host computer. Compatibility with NI-DAQmx driver software is provided, facilitating easy integration and programming.
Calibration services are available for the PXI-6259, with NIST accredited calibrations through a third party, ensuring that the device meets stringent accuracy and performance standards.
