The National Instruments PCI-6115 features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. The deep onboard memory delivers reliable data streaming with fewer dependencies on bus availability. Half of the onboard memory is dedicated to analog input and the other half, to analog output. With 10 MS/s per channel sampling rates, eight input ranges from ±0.2 to ±42 V, onboard anti-aliasing filters, two 12-bit analog outputs, two 24-bit counter/timers and eight general-purpose digital I/O lines, the NI PCI-6115 can be used in a variety of applications.

Some examples include:
- 42 V automotive applications
- Transient and ballistics measurements
- Radar, sonar, ultrasound
- High-energy physics
- IF digitization

Application Software
Using 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. LabVIEW Full and Professional Development Systems include LabVIEW SignalExpress for interactive data logging. S 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; LabVIEW SignalExpress 1.x; or LabVIEW with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 7.1. S Series data acquisition devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.

Driver Software
S Series devices work with multiple OSs using three driver software options including NI-DAQmx, NI-DAQmx Base, and the Measurement Hardware DDK.
