Description
The National Instruments PXI-6238 Digital Multifunction I/O Module is a highly versatile piece of equipment designed to meet the needs of a wide range of data acquisition and control applications. The part number for this module is 193193E-01L, with an alternate part number of 779624-01, ensuring ease of identification and ordering.
Belonging to the category of PXI Multifunction DAQ, the PXI-6238 model boasts an impressive array of features designed to facilitate complex measurements and control tasks. Among its capabilities are bank isolation, which enhances signal integrity and safety, and 16 AI (16 Bits, 1.25 MS/s), providing high-resolution analog input channels at a substantial sampling rate. Additionally, it includes 2 AO (analog output channels), 6 DI (digital input channels), and 4 DO (digital output channels), alongside an auto-calibrate function for optimal performance.
The module comes equipped with EEPROM that stores factory-calibration constants, alongside a user modifiable area for self-adjustments, ensuring flexibility and precision in measurement tasks. It is compatible with a variety of sensors, including strain gauges, thermocouples, thermistors, angular encoders, linear encoders, and RTDs, making it highly versatile for different types of data acquisition.
At its core, the PXI-6238 includes one analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which ensures precise digital readings of analog signals. The onboard multiplexers (MUX) facilitate the routing of one AI channel at a time to the ADC, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of data conversion. Moreover, the module features a NI-PGIA (Programmable Gain Instrumentation Amplifier), which is designed to minimize settling times and ensure maximum ADC resolution, further contributing to the module’s high-performance capabilities.
