Description
The National Instruments USB-6281 is a PC-based multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device that provides a wide range of features for data collection and control applications. It supports 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, allowing for versatile data gathering from various sensors and input sources. With an 18-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) resolution, it ensures high precision in measurements.
The maximum sampling rate for a single channel is 625 kilo-samples per second (kS/s), while for multiple channels, it can process data at a rate of up to 500 kS/s, providing fast data acquisition capabilities for real-time analysis. The device offers robust overvoltage protection of ±25 V when powered on, and ±15 V when powered off, ensuring the safety of the device and connected equipment. The input current for overvoltage conditions is limited to ±25 mA maximum per Analog Input (AI) pin, with an input bias current of ±100 picoamperes (pA), highlighting its capability to handle unexpected electrical conditions while maintaining precise input measurements.
In addition to its analog input capabilities, the USB-6281 also features 2 analog output channels, with a 16-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) resolution, providing accurate and smooth output signals. The maximum update rate for one channel is 2.86 Mega-samples per second (MS/s), and for both channels, it delivers a high-speed performance of 2.00 MS/s per channel, enabling efficient signal generation for control and simulation tasks.
