Description
The product with the part number 193193D-01L is a model PXI-6238, which falls under the category of PXI Multifunction DAQ devices. This particular device is equipped with 16 Analog Input (AI) channels, which are capable of 16 bits resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 1.25 MS/s. In addition to the AI channels, it includes 2 Analog Output (AO) channels, 6 Digital Input (DI) channels, and 4 Digital Output (DO) channels, with the DO channels being sourcing type.
An important feature of this model is its Bank Isolation, enhancing the device’s safety and performance in various applications. For calibration purposes, the device supports auto-calibrate, and it comes with factory-calibration constants stored in onboard EEPROM. Moreover, users have the option for self-adjustment, offering flexibility in maintenance and setup.
Regarding sensor compatibility, the PXI-6238 supports a wide range of sensors including strain gauges, thermocouples, thermistors, angular encoders, linear encoders, and RTDs, making it versatile for a variety of measurement tasks. The device uses a single ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), and it features multiplexers (MUX) that route one AI channel at a time to the ADC, ensuring precise data acquisition.
The inclusion of a NI-PGIA (Programmable Gain Instrumentation Amplifier) is noteworthy as it minimizes settling times for all input ranges, further enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of measurements taken by the PXI-6238.
