National Instruments USB-6259 Multifunction DAQ Device

The USB-6259 (Part Numbers: 780114-01, 780114-04, 779628-01) is a 16-bit Multifunction DAQ Device by National Instruments. This instrument supports two types of triggering: Analog Triggering and Digital Triggering. This device comes with two 32-bit counters. These counters are also known as timers. These counters/timers work at a rate of 80 MHz. There are additionally 32 single-ended or 16 differential analog input channels with each channel having a maximum sample rate of 1.25 MS/s. There are four analog output channels present in this device. This Multifunction DAQ Device offers Signal Streaming, which is available for four High-Speed Data Streams.

The NI USB-6259 incorporates NI-MCal technology to achieve accuracy for calibration. This Multifunction DAQ Device works with Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. The signal streaming integrates three innovative hardware-level and software-level design elements. This feature enables high-speed data streams and bidirectional data streams. The device has a recommended warm-up time of 30 minutes and should be calibrated at least once every 2 years.

The NI USB DAQ 6259 Multifunction DAQ Device allows the user to implement control loops. The user can perform multiple loops at the same time. This National Instruments Multifunction DAQ Device performs this function with the help of 32 analog input and 4 analog output channels, as well as multiple clocked digital lines. The USB 6259 NI device is compatible with a platform for conditioning for the NI-SCC signal. This allows the user to carry out the measurements for different requirements of the sensor. It is also required for voltage inputs greater than 10 V. This feature provides power and amplification filtering for every type of sensor and enhances the accuracy up to 10 times. The device has a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed or full-speed bus interface.

The screw terminal fitted model of the device weighs 11 oz., and measures 10.5 x 6.73 x 1.75 in. in physical dimensions while the BNC fitted model has the physical dimensions: 11.25 x 6.7 x 2.7 inches. In addition, the screw terminal model has 128 screw terminal I/O connectors while the BNC model has 32 BNCs and 60 screw terminal I/O connectors.
