Description
The National Instruments NB-MIO-16X Multifunction I/O Board is a versatile device capable of multifunction digital, analog, and timing I/O, designed specifically for compatibility with Macintosh NuBus computers. It comes in four versions, each tailored to different conversion speeds and selectable gains, identifiable by their unique part numbers: 776259-01 for the NB-MIO-16XL (18), 776259-02 for the NB-MIO-16XL (42), 776259-11 for the NB-MIO-16XH (18), and 776259-12 for the NB-MIO-16XH (42).
This board boasts a data transfer rate of 55 ksamples/sec and is equipped with a 16-word FIFO buffer capacity to enhance data acquisition efficiency. The analog input channels on the NB-MIO-16X can be further extended when used with the AMUX-64T Multiplexer, providing greater flexibility for complex setups. Additionally, the board features high-quality 12-bit DACs with double-buffered multiplying capabilities for precise control over analog outputs.
Integration with systems is made possible through its interface capability with the RTSI bus, facilitating efficient data management and DMA operations when paired with a compatible DMA board. The NB-MIO-16X is suitable for a wide range of applications, including machinery, process control, and instrumentation, benefiting from its eight TTL output lines for machine-to-machine communication and control signaling. Powering this multifunction board requires either ±12 VDC (36 mA) or 5 VDC (1.4 A), allowing it to be easily incorporated into various electrical setups.
