National Instruments PCI-6052E

The National Instruments PCI-6052E Multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device, part number 777745-01, is engineered for high-performance data collection, achieving sample rates of up to 333 kS/s with a 16-bit resolution across 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels. The PCI-6052E offers enhanced capabilities through its advanced I/O lines, including two 16-bit output channels and two 24-bit, 20 MHz counter/clocks, facilitated by its dedicated NI DAQ timing controller (DAQ-STC). The timing controller manages three timing groups for precise control of analog input, analog output, and general-purpose counter/timer operations, incorporating seven 24-bit counters and three 16-bit counters with a resolution of 50 ns.

This device features a DC input coupling with a maximum working voltage of ±11 V and a FIFO buffer capable of holding 512 samples, ensuring efficient data handling via three Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels in scatter-gather mode. The PCI-6052E also includes flexible trigger configurations; the TRIG1 signal, which can be configured for edge detection, initiates data acquisition for both pre-triggered and post-triggered operations, while the STARTSCAN signal offers similar configurability for synchronizing tasks. With dimensions of 6.9 x 4.2 inches and a weight of 5.6 oz., the device includes a 68-pin shielded connector block, ensuring robust connections for I/O operations. Recommended warm-up time for optimal performance is 15 minutes. A warranty of 2-3 years is provided, with user and maintenance manuals available for download.
