The National Instruments PCI-6111 features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. With 5 MS/s per channel sampling rates, eight input ranges from ±0.2 to ±42 V, two 16-bit analog outputs, two 24-bit counter/timers and eight general-purpose digital I/O lines, the NI PCI-6111 can be used in a variety of applications.
Some examples include:
- 42 V automotive applications
- Transient and ballistics measurements
- Radar, sonar, ultrasound
- High-energy physics
- IF digitization
Application Software
Using NI LabVIEW, you can create custom data acquisition applications with the ease of graphical programming and the power of more than 500 analysis functions and advanced programming tools. LabVIEW Full and Professional Development Systems include LabVIEW SignalExpress for interactive data logging. S Series data acquisition devices are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software – LabVIEW 7.x, LabWindows/CVI 7.x, or Measurement Studio 7.x; LabVIEW SignalExpress 1.x; or LabVIEW with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 7.1. S Series data acquisition devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.
Driver Software
S Series devices work with multiple OSs using three driver software options including NI-DAQmx, NI-DAQmx Base, and the Measurement Hardware DDK.
