Description
The PCI-6221 is a PC-based Multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device that falls under the M Series category, manufactured by National Instruments. It is identified by part numbers 779066-01 and 779418-01. This device is designed to cater to a variety of data acquisition needs by providing 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels with an analog input resolution of 16 bits. The data acquisition rate is capable of reaching up to 250 kS/s, ensuring rapid data collection.
For output capabilities, the PCI-6221 offers 2 analog output (AO) channels, supporting rates of 833 kS/s for a single channel and 740 kS/s when both channels are used simultaneously. This device operates within a signal environment of 3.3 V or 5 V, providing flexibility in terms of compatibility with various signal levels. The analog input absolute accuracy is noted to be 3100 uV, ensuring precise measurements.
Although the PCI-6221 does not support simultaneous sampling, it is equipped with two 32-bit counters/timers and supports digital triggering, enhancing its functionality in complex data acquisition scenarios. It is compatible with NI SCC and SCXI signal conditioning platforms, allowing for a wide range of signal conditioning options.
The device also features correlated digital I/O (DIO), with 8 channels available on the 68-pin version up to 1 MHz, and 2 channels on the 37-pin version. Additionally, it includes 6 DMA channels for efficient data transfer. With a weight of 3.2 oz. and dimensions of 4.2 x 6.1 inches, the PCI-6221 is compact and easy to integrate into a variety of setups.
