Description
The National Instruments DAQPad-MIO-16XE-50 Multifunction DAQ is a high-performance, portable DAQ system designed for use with IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computers, offering flexible configurations with 16 analog input channels, which can be configured as either eight differential or sixteen single-ended inputs, and two analog output channels with a 12-bit resolution. With a maximum sampling rate of up to 20 kS/s, this device supports a range of operating systems including Windows 2000/XP/NT, Mac OS X, LabVIEW RT, and Linux, and is NIST-calibrated to ensure measurement accuracy.
To operate, the system requires certain items such as a parallel port cable, LabVIEW for Windows, VI Logger, NI-DAQ for PC compatibles, or Measurement Studio, in addition to a power supply option like a 120/230 VAC wall-mount adapter, BP-1 battery power supply, or any 9 to 42 VDC power supply. The DAQPad-MIO-16XE-50 is compatible with both TTL and CMOS signal levels, and it includes a configuration memory size of 512 words, which along with its support for external clocking and digital triggering, and a minimum supported pulse width of 10 ns, makes it highly adaptable for a variety of data acquisition and control applications.
