Description
The PCI-6238 is a multifunction DAQ device from National Instruments, part of their M Series lineup. The device carries the part number 193190A-01 and falls under the category of PC-based Multifunction DAQ. It is designed to cater to a variety of data acquisition needs.
This model comes equipped with 8 Analog Input (AI) channels, 2 Analog Output (AO) channels, 6 Digital Input (DI) channels, and 4 Digital Output (DO) channels, which are sourcing. The AI channels can handle an input current range of +20 mA with an overcurrent tolerance of +40 mA. These channels have a maximum impedance of 100 Ω, ensuring accurate data capture for a range of signals.
The device boasts an ADC resolution of 16 bits, providing high precision in measurements. The sampling rate for AI channels can reach up to 250 kS/s, while for a single AO channel, it can achieve 500 kS/s. When both AO channels are used simultaneously, the sampling rate is 450 kS/s per channel. This high-speed performance makes the PCI-6238 suitable for demanding applications requiring rapid data processing and output.
