National Instruments PCI-6122

The National Instruments PCI-6122 is a high-performance multifunction I/O device designed for advanced data acquisition and signal processing applications. This device features four analog input channels with a resolution of 16 bits and a sampling rate of 500 kS/s per channel, making it ideal for applications such as IF digitization, transient recording, and telecommunication manufacturing tests, including ADSL, ISDN, and POTS. The PCI-6122 is also well-suited for ultrasound and sonar testing as well as high energy physics experiments.

With its ability to seamlessly adjust between analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and counter/timer operations, the PCI-6122 facilitates precise measurement of stimulus/response in dynamic strain applications. The device includes eight hardware-timed digital I/O lines with a throughput capability of 10 Mwords/s, and two 24-bit counters capable of digital triggering up to 20 MHz. The input voltage range spans from 1.25 V to 10 V, and an integrated 16 MS memory ensures efficient data management.

Offering a compact form factor of 12.3 x 4.2 inches, the PCI-6122 utilizes a 68-pin male SCSI-II connector for robust connectivity. It requires a power supply of +5 VDC, +3.3 V, and –12 V, consuming a total of 1.03 A, 1.1 A, and 52 mA respectively. This device is compatible with NI-DAQmx, the Measurement & Automation Explorer configuration utility, and VI Logger Lite data-logging software for enhanced usability. A warranty ranging from 2 to 3 years is included, and detailed user and maintenance manuals are available for download.
