The National Instruments PCI-6120 simultaneous sampling multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) board features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. This board is accurate for both DC and dynamic signals with as much as 95 dB of spurious-free dynamic range and as little as 39 µV of noise. Each input channel, which has a 100 kHz antialiasing filter to improve frequency-domain analysis, can be disabled from software for transient and pulse measurements. The 64 MS of onboard memory delivers reliable data streaming with half of the memory dedicated to analog input and the other half dedicated to analog output. With 1 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-6120 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
Enable Warp Mode to Achieve Maximum Sampling Rates PCI-6120 analog inputs sample up to 800 kS/s using the onboard sample clock, or can sample up to 1 MS/s using one of the onboard counters or an external reference as the sample clock. Download the NI LabVIEW example from the Resources tab to enable warp mode and achieve the maximum sampling rates.
