Data Sheet

Providing guaranteed measurement accuracy at a low price, National Instruments B Series multifunction DAQ boards are ideal for a wide variety of OEM products or simple applications in laboratory automation, research, design verification/test, and manufacturing test. The National Instruments PCI-6010 is a low-cost multifunction I/O data acquisition board offering analog input, analog output, and digital and counter/timer I/O. Using the 37 pin D-Sub connector, you can connect the NI PCI-6010 to many available D-Sub components. For large orders and OEM users, the PCI-6010 is available in 50-board packs at a reduced price.

Driver Software
The PCI-6010 works with multiple operating systems using three driver software options including NI-DAQmx, NI-DAQmx Base, and the Measurement Hardware DDK. Browse the information in the Resources tab to learn more about driver software or download a driver. The PCI-6010 is not compatible with the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver.

Application Software
Every B Series data acquisition device includes a copy of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE so you can quickly acquire, analyze, and present data without programming. In addition to LabVIEW SignalExpress, B Series data acquisition devices are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software – LabVIEW 7.x, LabWindows™/CVI 7.x, or Measurement Studio 7.x; or LabVIEW with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 7.1. M Series data acquisition devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.
