Description
The National Instruments SCXI-1600, part number 776572-1600, is a high-performance USB Data Acquisition Module (DAQ) designed for use with an SCXI chassis, featuring a 16-bit ADC and a high sampling rate of 200 kS/s. This DAQ module is capable of handling a large number of analog signals, supporting the acquisition of up to 352 signals when connected to SCXI modules.
It provides excellent signal conditioning options for a variety of sensors including RTDs, thermocouples, strain gauges, current sources, and voltages, ensuring versatile application across different measurement tasks. The module offers USB compatibility for easy and reliable powered or hot insertion, and utilizes the robust National Instruments DAQ-STC for precise system timing control.
For ease of monitoring, the front panel is equipped with four LEDs that indicate the power rails (V+ and V−), active state, and ready state of the module. A dedicated BNC connector on the front panel is provided for straightforward calibration processes. The SCXI-1600 is operated using NIDAQmx driver software, and is compatible with popular development environments including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio.
Before use, a warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended for the module to stabilize, and regular calibration is advised to maintain accuracy and performance.
