The National Instruments PCI-6154 is a channel-to-channel isolated, simultaneous sampling multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) board. It combines the safety of isolation with high-performance timing and calibration technologies and per-channel dedicated analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to offer extreme reliability, accurate measurements, and precise control. Isolation provides:
- Safety from transients
- Noise rejection
- Reduced ground loops
The NI PCI-6154 features four differential simultaneously sampled 16-bit analog inputs and outputs with channel-to-channel isolation and 250 kS/s sampling. You can combine the channel-to-channel isolated analog outputs to generate signals greater than ±10 V (up to ±40 V by combining all four channels). The PCI-6154 also offers six digital inputs, four digital outputs, two counter/timers, and digital triggering.
Designed to deliver reliable measurements in virtually any environment, the PCI-6154 isolated DAQ board is ideal for a wide variety of applications, including:
- Automotive test
- Industrial monitoring and control
- High-speed continuous data logging
- Measurements requiring synchronization among analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and counter/timer operations
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.
