Description
The Part Number 779512-01 specifies a PC-based Multifunction DAQ device, known as the PCIe-6251. This device is described as the NI PCIe-6251 featuring 16 AI (Analog Inputs), 24 DIO (Digital I/O), and 2 AO (Analog Outputs).
For analog inputs, it offers a choice between 16 single-ended or 8 differential channels, both with a 16-bit resolution. The maximum sampling rate is 1.25 MS/s (Mega Samples per second) for a single channel and 1.00 MS/s for multiple channels simultaneously.
Regarding analog outputs, there are 2 channels available with a maximum update rate of 2.86 MS/s for 1 channel and 2.00 MS/s for 2 channels, supported by a 16-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) resolution.
The device also includes 24 Digital I/O channels with 8 of them being Correlated DIO, enhancing its versatility for various applications.
Supported driver software includes NI-DAQmx, NI-DAQmx Base, and the Measurement Hardware DDK, ensuring wide compatibility and ease of integration with various software environments.
