The National Instruments PXI-6533 is a high-speed, 32-bit, parallel digital I/O interface. It incorporates the NI DAQ-DIO ASIC, a 32-bit general-purpose digital I/O interface specifically designed to deliver high performance on plug-in digital I/O modules. The PXI-6533 performs single-point I/O, pattern I/O, and high-speed data transfer using a wide range of handshaking protocols at speeds up to 76 MB/s. 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.
