National Instruments PCI-6032E

The National Instruments PCI-6032E (Part Number: 777422-01) is a full-featured multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) device from the E Series, designed for robust industrial applications. This PCI bus-based device provides 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels with a 16-bit input resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s. The input voltage range extends from ±0.1 to ±10 V. While the PCI-6032E does not offer analog output channels, it supports both analog and digital triggering mechanisms, enhancing its functionality for complex measurement tasks. Additionally, this DAQ is equipped with two 24-bit timers/counters, enabling precise timing measurements.

For flexible data acquisition and analysis, the PCI-6032E includes a channel scaling function that allows users to convert measured voltage data into other engineering units. To facilitate synchronization with other instruments, it features a dedicated RTSI bus. The device is also integrated with an onboard temperature sensor, providing critical monitoring of the DAQ's operating temperature to ensure optimal performance.

With a versatile design, the PCI-6032E offers up to 15 input ranges applicable for signals smaller than 50 mV, and it supports DC input coupling. Built-in overvoltage protection safeguards the channels against voltages up to ±25 V. This model features an internal self-calibration mechanism that operates entirely through software, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and ensuring consistent accuracy over time. It is engineered to perform reliably in challenging environments, accounting for the effects of temperature variations on measurement results.

The PCI-6032E operates on a power requirement of +5 VDC at 1.5 A, comes with a 68-pin SCSI-type I/O connector, and is compatible with 5 V/TTL logic levels. It has dimensions of 6.9 × 4.2 inches and weighs 6.5 ounces. The device is supported by NI-DAQ7 driver software, and detailed user and maintenance manuals are available for download.
