NI PCI-6534

NI Recommends the NEW NI PCIe-6536/7 Digital Boards

  • 20 MHz maximum clock rates for continuous pattern I/O or handshaking
  • 80 MB/s maximum transfer rate (8-, 16-, or 32-bit transfers)
  • 32 digital I/O lines (5 V TTL/CMOS)
  • 32 MB onboard memory per data path
  • Start/stop triggering, pattern matching, and change detection
  • NI-DAQmx driver compatible with NI LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET

The National Instruments PCI-6534 is a high-speed, 32-bit, parallel digital I/O interface for PCI. The NI PCI-6534 performs pattern I/O and high-speed data transfer using a wide range of handshaking protocols at speeds up to 80 MB/s through onboard memory. It features user-defined power-up states, start and stop triggering, pattern matching, and change detection. You can operate the 32 lines as individually configurable single-line I/O or as 8-, 16-, or 32-bit ports for pattern I/O and handshaking. The board comes bundled with the NI-DAQmx driver software and Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) configuration software, so you can interactively configure your device and view test panels for interactive measurements.

For a comparable low-cost digital device with higher throughput and performance, consider the 25 MHz NI PCIe-6536 (up to 100 MB/s) or the 50 MHz NI PCIe-6537 (up to 200 MB/s).
