Description
The PXI-6221 is a multifunction DAQ device that falls under the category of PXI Multifunction DAQ. It is identified by part numbers 779629-01 and 779113-01. This device is capable of a wide range of functionalities thanks to its diverse set of channels and features. Specifically, it offers 16 AI channels with 16 bits and a sampling rate of 250 kS/s, alongside 16 AO channels, and 24 DIO channels. Furthermore, it includes two 32-bit counters/timers for advanced timing operations.
For communication, it utilizes computerized I/O and digital shots, ensuring versatile connectivity options. To get started, users will require 1 shielded or unshielded cable and 1 connector block, which can be either with screw terminals or BNC termination. The PXI-6221 is compatible with several software environments, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio, allowing for easy integration into existing setups.
The device connects via a 1 68-pin VHDCI connector and has a lightweight design, weighing only 5.7 oz. It is built to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 70 °C. Its humidity tolerance is from 10% RH to 90% RH (non-condensing), ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions.
The PXI-6221 is also designed to withstand vibrations, with an operating vibration tolerance of 0.3 grms (5 Hz to 500 Hz) and a non-operating vibration tolerance of 2.4 grms (5 Hz to 500 Hz). It is recommended that the device undergoes calibration annually to maintain accuracy and performance. Before use, a 15-minute warm-up time is advised.
This device is classified as Mature, meaning it is still available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves. This ensures
