The National Instruments PXI-6122 S Series multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) module features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. With 500 kS/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 NI PXI-6122 can be used in a variety of applications, including:

- High-speed, continuous data logging
- Transient and ballistics measurements
- Radar, sonar, ultrasound
- High-energy physics
- IF digitization

Direct Connectivity
The NI TB-2709 provides direct SMB connectivity to the four PXI-6122 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 NI 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.

NI-DAQmx Driver Software
NI-DAQmx driver software goes far beyond a basic data acquisition driver to deliver increased productivity and performance in data acquisition and control application development. Quickly gather real-world data with measurement-ready virtual channels and configuration using the DAQ Assistant.
