The NI PCI-6123 S Series data acquisition (DAQ) board features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and preserved phase relationship among the analog inputs.

The PCI-6123 is a full-length PCI board. Please verify with your PC vendor that there is sufficient room in the computer chassis to house this board. See the KnowledgeBase article in the Resources tab for more information.

Application Software
With NI LabVIEW software, 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 S Series DAQ devices are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software – LabVIEW 7.x, LabWindows/CVI 7.x, Measurement Studio 7.x, LabVIEW SignalExpress 1.x, or LabVIEW with the LabVIEW 7.1 Real-Time Module. S Series DAQ devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.0.

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. It 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 speed up your measurements with optimized DMA data transfer and single-point I/O.

Since your device does not have direct signal connectivity, you need a connector block to act as an interface between your sensors/signals and your device. A connector block provides easy access to the inputs and outputs of your hardware.
You need a cable to transmit signals between your device and your signal connections on your connector block.
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.
