Description
The product features part numbers 779066-01 and 779418-01, indicating its availability in different configurations suitable for various applications. It falls under the category of PC-based Multifunction DAQ, making it versatile for a wide range of data acquisition tasks. The model of this device is PCI-6221, and it is part of the highly regarded M Series.
Regarding its data acquisition capabilities, this device boasts 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, offering flexibility in connecting different types of sensors. The analog input resolution is 16 bits, ensuring high precision in the measurements. It supports a data acquisition rate of 250 kS/s, allowing for rapid collection of data without sacrificing quality.
In terms of output, the device offers 2 analog output channels, with an AO rate of 833 kS/s when operating a single channel and 740 kS/s when both channels are utilized. This feature enables the device to effectively output data or control signals at high speeds. The analog input absolute accuracy is specified at 3100 uV, highlighting the device’s precision in input measurements.
The device does not support simultaneous sampling, which might be a consideration for certain applications requiring synchronized data collection. For digital interfacing, it provides 8 correlated (clocked) digital I/O for the 68-pin version and 2 correlated (clocked) digital I/O for the 37-pin version, offering flexibility in digital communications up to 1 MHz. Additionally, it is equipped with 2 32-bit counters/timers and 6 DMA channels, enhancing its capability for complex timing and direct memory access operations.
The physical attributes include a weight of 3.2 oz. and dimensions of 4.2 x 6.1 in., making it compact and lightweight for easy integration into various systems. Compatibility with NI SCC and SCXI platforms is ensured, broadening its application
