National Instruments PCI-1200 Multifunction DAQ
The National Instruments PCI-1200 (Part Numbers: 777386-01, 777097-01, and 183094K-01) is a multipurpose digital, analog, and timing device intended for PC AT series computers, which are installed into 8-bit or 16-bit ISA slots. It provides an affordable option for various industrial automation and data collection uses.
Eight analog input channels—eight single-ended, eight pseudodifferential, and four differential—can be set up on the PCI-1200. It makes use of a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC, which provides a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s and a resolution of 1 in 4,096. With two 12-bit DACs featuring voltage outputs for analog output, the device can be configured independently for either unipolar (0-10 V) or bipolar (±5 V) operation. These DACs typically have a typical update rate of 1 kS/s, with a resolution of 2.44 mV.
The PCI-1200 also offers 24 lines of digital I/O that are compatible with TTL, which may be set up as three 8-bit ports for input, output, bidirectional, or handshaking, among other modes. A maximum of 2.5 mA per line can be sunk through the digital output ports.
With a maximum source frequency of 8 MHz, a base clock frequency of 2 MHz, and a resolution of 16 bits, the board uses two 82C53 integrated circuits. Each individual 82C53 chip contains three independent 16-bit counter/timers (providing a total of 6 counters between Groups A and B).
The PCI-1200 has overvoltage protection of ±35 V when it is powered on, ±25 V when it is powered off for analog inputs, and ±0.5 V when it is powered off for digital I/O. When the amplifier is powered on, its input impedance is 100 GΩ in parallel with 50 pF; when it is powered off or under overload conditions, its minimum input impedance is 4.7 kΩ. From DC to 60 Hz, it has a CMRR of 70 dB.
In order to compensate for offset and gain issues, the device has self-calibrating circuitry for analog inputs and outputs. It is stored in an EEPROM on the device, along with user-modifiable settings and factory calibration constants.
Apex Waves stocks, buys, and repairs end-of-life hardware in perpetuity. While the PCI-1200 is no longer available from National Instruments (NI), it will remain available for purchase from Apex Waves!
