Description
The part number for this device is 193190C-01 (779623-01), indicating a specific version of hardware within its category. This device falls under the category of PC-based Multifunction DAQ, designed for a wide range of data acquisition tasks. The model number, PCI-6238, specifies the exact type of DAQ device offered by National Instruments, a leading manufacturer in this field.
The PCI-6238 is described as an NI PCI-6238, Iso (Cur: 8 AI, 2 AO; 30V: 6 DI, 4 Sourcing DO), highlighting its versatility in handling various types of inputs and outputs. This device is part of the M Series, which is known for its robust performance and reliability in data acquisition systems.
It features 8 differential current input channels, allowing for precise measurements from multiple sources simultaneously. With an ADC resolution of 16 bits, it ensures high accuracy in data conversion from analog to digital formats. The device supports a sampling rate of up to 250 kS/s, providing the capability to capture fast-changing signals efficiently.
The input current range is specified as +/-20 mA, with a maximum input impedance of 100 Ω. This highlights the device’s capability to handle a wide range of signal strengths without degradation of signal quality. Its overcurrent capability is specified as +/-40 mA, indicating robust protection against unexpected signal spikes.
On the output side, the PCI-6238 boasts 2 analog current output channels, with an output sampling rate of 500 kS/s (single) and 450 kS/s (dual). This allows for precise control and output of signals to other devices or systems. Additionally, it is equipped with a FIFO buffer memory for input, capable of holding up to 4095 samples, ensuring that data is not lost during high-speed acquisition.
