National Instruments PCI-6123 Multifunction I/O Device

The PCI-6123 (Part numbers: 779409-01 and 779408-01) is a Multifunction I/O Device from National Instruments. The device comes with eight analog input channels. The NI PCI-6123 Multifunction I/O Device also has eight differential analog input channels with 16 bit analog input resolution and 4960 uV analog input absolute accuracy. There are also eight bidirectional digital channels (with a TTL/CMOS compatibility), which have a frequency rate of 10 MHz and two 24-bit counters/timers. The device has a sampling rate of 500 kS per second per channel. It is equipped with a 68-pin male SCSI-II type I/O connector. The NI PCI-6123 incorporates the PCI Bus to fulfill operational requirements, which includes both the master and slave bus interface.

The NI PCI-6123 device offers trigger mechanisms, which includes analog and digital trigger capabilities. The user can make use of any input channel as the source for the analog trigger. This device allows the user to program the hysteresis. The digital triggers of the device are TTL compatible. The device has a pulse width of 10 Nano-seconds in one minute. The NI PCI-6123 Multifunction I/O Device can be used for applications, such as high-energy physics, IF digitization, ultrasound and sonar testing, transient recording, and various other high-speed, high-channel count applications.

This Multifunction I/O Device can be programmed with various software types offered by National Instruments, such as LabVIEW 7.x or higher, Measurement Studio 7.x or higher, LabWindows/CVI 7.x or higher, Digital Waveform Editor, and Signal Express 1.x or higher. The NI PCI-6123 has several other types of compatible software, including VI Logger 2.x or higher, Visual Basic, C/C++, and C#, and Visual Studio .NET. This device can be used with the NI-DAQmx driver. The NI PCI-6123 device complies with various safety standards, including IEC 61010-1, UL 61010-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1, and EN 61010-1. The NI PCI-6123 operates perfectly with a Windows 2000/NT/XP operating system.

The NI device measures 12.3 x 4.2 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C, a storage temperature range of –20 to 70 °C, and a noncondensing humidity range of 10 to 90% RH.

The PCI-6123 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the PCI-6123 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the PCI-6123 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
