National Instruments PCI-6071E

The National Instruments PCI-6071E is a multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) board designed for PCI bus computers, ideal for a wide range of industrial automation applications, including laboratory automation, research, design verification, and manufacturing testing. This versatile board features 64 single-ended or 32 differential analog input channels with a 12-bit resolution achieved through a successive approximation ADC, providing accurate data capture with typical dithered precision of ±0.5 LSB and maximum undithered precision of ±1.5 LSB. In addition, it is equipped with a 512-sample FIFO buffer that supports interrupts, programmable I/O, and direct memory access (DMA) for efficient data transfers. For analog output, the PCI-6071E includes two channels with 12-bit resolution and a maximum update rate of 1 MS/s for single channels, all while utilizing a double-buffered, multiplying DAC configuration for precise voltage outputs. The digital I/O capabilities consist of eight TTL/CMOS-compatible channels, facilitating essential communication and control tasks in automation systems. The board's integrated MITE bus interface chip supports a switchless and jumperless design, simplifying software configuration and calibration. It also utilizes the National Instruments DAQ-STC system timing controller, providing accurate timing management for counter/timer functions, analog input, and output control, with a resolution of 50 ns. The inclusion of the Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus allows for synchronized operations across multiple DAQ boards, enhancing the measurement capabilities within complex systems. Furthermore, the PCI-6071E supports interfacing with SCXI systems for the acquisition of over 3,000 analog signals from various sources including strain gauges, thermocouples, and RTDs. The board is housed in a compact 6.9 x 4.2-inch form factor and weighs 4.1 ounces, requiring a +5 VDC power supply at 1.1 A. Designed with compatibility and durability in mind, the PCI-6071E is backed by a three-year warranty, and detailed user and maintenance manuals are available for download.
