Data Sheet  |   Configure System popup

The National Instruments PXI-6143 S Series multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) module combines the latest in low-cost PC technologies to deliver simultaneous sampling for data acquisition and control systems requiring high-channel counts. A dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel allows for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. With 250 kS/s per-channel sampling rates, two 24-bit counter/timers, and eight digital I/O lines, the NI PXI-6143 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

The PXI-6143 provides a very low cost per channel while maintaining high dynamic accuracy and simultaneity. These modules are also useful for OEM applications that require more than one channel and higher throughput per channel than a multiplexed architecture can provide.

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. NI-DAQmx controls every aspect of your data acquisition system, from configuration, to programming, to low-level operating system and device control. Quickly gather real-world data with measurement-ready virtual channels and the DAQ Assistant. Build your applications with measurement-specific VIs, functions, and data types. Reliably make your measurements faster with optimized DMA data transfer and single-point I/O.
