For new applications NI recommends the USB-6501 with 8.5 mA current drive and NI-DAQmx software support.
The DAQCard-DIO-24 is a Type II PC Card (PCMCIA) for notebooks and other computers with a PCMCIA slot. The DAQCard-DIO-24, as well as other NI 6503 products, uses a 24-bit programmable peripheral interface (PPI) to achieve 24 channels of digital I/O. In addition, each is Plug and Play compatible and does not require a separate card manager for configuration. Each interface works with a variety of operating systems, so you can develop applications that work across multiple platforms.
Note to Windows Vista Users DAQCard (PCMCIA) support for Windows Vista is not available for NI data acquisition devices. For portable measurements with higher current drive, please consider the USB-6501 or USB-6525.
