National Instruments AT-AO-6 Analog Output Board
The AT-AO-6 is an Analog Output Board manufactured by National Instruments. This board corresponds to part numbers 776541-01 and 181435-06. This board can be used with legacy NI-DAQ driver software. The NI AT-AO-6 can be utilized with application software like LabVIEW, VirtualBench, BridgeVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measure, and ComponentWorks. The Windows NT/98/95 operating systems are used to operate the NI AT-AO-6 board.
This Analog Output Board is designed for ISA computers. The NI AT-AO-6 contains 6 similar output channels. Each channel has unipolar or bipolar output capability. These channels provide voltage outputs and can sink 4 to 20 mA current at the time of connection to the external source. The NI AT-AO-6 has similar properties to the AT-AO-10, except for the number of output channels. The maximum update rate of this Analog Output Board is 300 kS/s based on system requirements.
The NI AT-AO-6 has a channel resolution of 12-bits. The NI AT-AO-6 can allocate waveforms into the double-buffered type of digital-to-analog (DAC) channel pairs. The output coupling type of this board is DC. The NI AT-AO-6 has a FIFO buffer size of 1024 samples. The AT-AO-6 is fabricated for load impedance of a maximum of 500 pF. The NI AT-AO-6 has a connection for a 50-pin male input/output connector. The digital lines of this Analog Output Board are 8 standard TTL with 5V source voltage. The bus type used in connections for the AT-AO-6 is a slave bus. There are 7 triggered RTSI lines are affiliated with the NI AT-AO-6 board.
AT-AO-6 Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the analog output board will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.

National Instruments AT-AO-6 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is the power-on state of the digital I/O channels on the National Instruments AT-AO-6?
Answer: The power-on state of the digital I/O channels on the National Instruments AT-AO-6 is input (high impedance).
Question: Can the NI AT-AO-6 board be self-calibrated?
Answer: Yes, the NI AT-AO-6 board can be self-calibrated, which eradicates many errors caused by drift of offset and gain with temperature and time.
Question: What do the two part numbers for the AT-AO-6 mean?
Answer: The AT-AO-6 can be purchased as a kit (Part Number: 776541-01), which includes the board, the user manual, and NI-DAQ software with manuals. The other option is to purchase only the board (Part Number: 181435-06).
Question: What is a sample configuration for the NI AT-AO-6?
Answer: One way to configure the NI AT-AO-6 is with the NB1 cable (Part Number: 180524-10) and the CB-50 accessory (Part Number: 776164-90).
