National Instruments PXIe-6614

The National Instruments PXIe-6614 is an advanced PXI Counter/Timer Module designed for versatile applications including automotive and aerospace testing, mechanical and motion control, and assembly line testing. This 5 V, multi-channel module features eight counters and timers, delivering precise measurements with an outstanding accuracy facilitated by an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO). The PXIe-6614 supports software-timed acquisition, enabling users to effectively control the acquisition rates with on-demand timing capabilities through the NI-DAQmx environment. Each digital I/O line can be configured flexibly as either a digital input (DI) or digital output (DO), allowing for comprehensive monitoring and control of digital signals. The module utilizes Direct Memory Access (DMA) for efficient data transfer from its onboard FIFO memory to the host computer, significantly enhancing throughput by transferring large data blocks instead of individual samples. Additionally, the integrated DI timing engine generates the DI Sample Clock, which can be initiated through a user-defined DI Start Trigger and supports customized delays for enhanced timing control. The PXIe-6614 features a robust build, weighing 180 grams, and is backed by a 2-3 year warranty. User manuals and maintenance guides are readily available for download, and pricing can be obtained through contact with a sales representative.
