Fast 16-bit analog output modules for data acquisition
17 July 2002
Test & Measurement
With National Instruments' 16-bit NI PCI-6731 and NI PCI-6733 analog output modules, engineers and scientists can control waveform amplitudes with higher resolution at frequencies commonly associated with lower resolution products. The NI PCI-6731 and NI PCI-6733 modules are ideal for a variety of applications, such as stimulus-response testing of devices that require frequency excitation.
The modules deliver high-channel density with 1 MSa/s per channel 16-bit analog waveform output. The NI PCI-6731 features four output channels and the NI-6733 features eight output channels. Both modules also feature two counter/timers and software-controlled, onboard timing signal routing for advanced applications. A realtime system integration (RTSI) bus delivers synchronisation with NI modular instrumentation, data acquisition, motion and vision products so engineers and scientists can create custom measurement solutions.
The NI PCI-6731 and NI PCI-6733 analog output modules come with NI-DAQ 6.9 driver software, a powerful programming interface for use with numerous programming environments and languages, including NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI, and Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++.
