PCIbus acquisition devices
boast speedy sampling
Four new simultaneous-sampling PCIbus data acquisition devices raise the performance of PC-based instrumentation with sampling rates up to 3Msample/s
National Instruments has released four new simultaneous-sampling S Series data acquisition (DAQ) devices for the PCIbus, raising the performance of PC-based instrumentation with simultaneous-sampling rates up to 3Msample/s. The NI PCI-6133, NI PCI-6132, NI PCI-6123 and NI PCI-6122 boards offer high-density, low-cost options ideal for general-purpose data acquisition and automated test, ultrasonics, ballistics, acoustics, high-energy physics and radar applications.

In addition to the 3Msample/s sampling rates offered in the PCI-6133 and PCI-6132, all four boards deliver NI S Series DAQ features, including improved throughput per channel and accuracy at low costs.
The dedicated A/D convertor per channel architecture provides a much higher aggregate sampling rate compared with traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices.
The PCI-6133 and PCI-6132 boards also include eight and four channels of simultaneous sampling, respectively; 4bit resolution; four signal input ranges; analogue triggering; eight hardware-timed digital I/O (DIO) lines; and two counter/timers.

PXI Express high-speed instruments and an 18-slot PXI Express chassis bring PCI Express datarates to the PC instrument market
The PCI-6123 and PCI-6122 boards include eight and four channels of simultaneous sampling at rates of 500Ksample/s, respectively; 16bit resolution; four signal input ranges; analogue triggering; eight hardware-timed DIO lines; and two counter/timers.
With more advanced signal conditioning connectivity, engineers can now create an inexpensive transient recorder, down-convertor digitiser or high-speed strain measurement device with a typical PC.
With lower costs and easier-to-use programming interfaces, these devices replace many traditional VXI, CAMAC and boxed instruments.
Each of the four new S Series DAQ boards seamlessly integrates with National Instruments software including NI-DAQmx, SignalExpress, the LabView graphical development environment, VI Logger data-logging software, the LabView Sound and Vibration Toolkit and the LabView Signal Processing Toolkit.
