The NI PXI-6132 S Series multifunction DAQ module features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. With 2.5 MS/s per-channel sampling rates, four input ranges from ±1.25 to ±10 V, two 24-bit counter/timers, and eight hardware-timed digital I/O lines, the PXI-6132 can be used in a variety of applications, including the following:

1. High-speed, continuous data logging
2. Transient and ballistics measurements
3. Radar, sonar, ultrasound
4. High-energy physics
5. IF digitization

Enable Warp Mode to Achieve Maximum Sampling Rates
PXI-6132 analog inputs sample up to 2.5 MS/s using the onboard sample clock; they also can sample up to 3 MS/s using 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.

Direct Connectivity
The TB-2709 provides direct SMB connectivity to the four PXI-6132 analog inputs. There is also one SMB connector that is programmable for analog or digital triggering, counter/timer functionality, or digital signal routing for device synchronization. In addition to SMB connectors, you can use the MFIT-Pigtail cable to an auxiliary connector for access to onboard counters and digital I/O lines.

Application Software
With LabVIEW, you can create custom data acquisition applications with the ease of graphical programming and power of more than 500 analysis functions and advanced programming tools. Every copy of LabVIEW also includes LabVIEW SignalExpress interactive data-logging software.

Since your device does not have direct signal connectivity, you need a terminal block to act as an interface between your sensors/signals and your device. A terminal block provides easy access to the inputs and outputs of your hardware.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
