National Instruments PCI-6220 Multifunction DAQ

The National Instruments PCI-6220 (Part number: 779065-01) is a Multifunction DAQ from the M Series. This model comes featured with 24 DIO, 16 AI, and offers correlated digital I/O. Moreover, this device additionally has two 32-bit counters/timers. The NI PCI 6220 DAQ is a reliable DAQ in various applications from simple laboratory automation to manufacturing testing and design verification. With this model, adding a high-voltage measurement capability and sensors is possible through SCC signal conditioning modules. For increased measurement accuracy, the NI-MCal calibration technology is also incorporated.

The PCI 6220 National Instruments is designed to work with multiple operating systems utilizing three driver options, including Measurement Hardware DDK, NI-DAQmx, and the NI-DAQmx Base. Although it is a low-cost data acquisition device, the NI PCI-6220 M Series DAQ comes with advanced and innovative NI features, such as an STC System Controller and a PGIA 2 Programmable Amplifier. This device can acquire samples at 250 kS/s sample rate in single channel mode or multichannel mode through its DC coupled analog inputs.

The PCI 6220 NI offers integrated protection against all its sense and analog input channels. This model is set to actuate at ±25 with the device on and at ±15 V with the device off. This Multifunction DAQ comes with a comprehensive triggering portfolio so it can receive external digital triggers from any PFI and RTSI. For device-to-device triggering, a special RTSI trigger bus RTSI <0...7> is also provided. Besides this, the National Instruments NI PCI-6220 has 6 DMA channels out of which 6 can be used for digital input, digital output, analog input, counter/time 0, and counter/timer 1.

PCI-6220 Mature Status has been announced by National Instruments, but this device is still available for purchase and repairs at Apex Waves.
