National Instruments 779958-04 Multifunction I/O Device
The National Instruments 779958-04, also known as the USB-6255, is a multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) device designed for laboratory, industrial, and engineering applications. The unit is housed in an enclosed chassis and operates from 240 VAC Euro mains power. It provides analog input and output, 24 bidirectional digital I/O lines, two 32-bit counters/timers, and both analog and digital triggering. The front terminal area provides convenient connections for field wiring, while the built-in 4,095-sample FIFO buffer helps maintain consistent data acquisition during continuous operation.
The analog input section supports up to 80 single-ended or 40 differential channels with 16-bit resolution. The maximum sampling rate is 1.25 MS/s, with an absolute accuracy of ±1,920 µV. The device also provides two analog output channels with a maximum update rate of 2.86 MS/s, making them suitable for waveform generation and control applications.
The 779958-04 is compatible with NI-DAQmx drivers and configuration software, simplifying device setup and integration with applications developed in LabVIEW, C, and C++. Its combination of analog, digital, and timing functions allows a single DAQ device to handle a variety of measurement and control requirements.
In design verification, manufacturing test, research, and laboratory automation, the 779958-04 can be paired with SCC or SCXI signal-conditioning hardware for applications requiring additional signal conditioning, including high-voltage measurements and improved electrical isolation. The 24 digital I/O lines can be used to control relays, switches, and other equipment or to monitor the status of external devices.
The two 32-bit counters/timers provide additional measurement capabilities, including pulse counting, encoder feedback, and frequency measurement. With its USB 2.0 interface, the 779958-04 can connect directly to a computer, making it suitable for both benchtop and portable test setups. Its combination of high-channel-count analog acquisition, analog output, digital I/O, and counter/timer functionality makes it a versatile option for automated measurement and testing systems.
