The National Instruments PCI-6132 S Series multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) board features a dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel for maximum device throughput and higher multichannel accuracy. With 3 MS/s per-channel sampling rates, four input ranges from ±1.25 to ±10 V, two 24-bit counter/timers, and eight hardware-timed digital I/O lines, the NI PCI-6132 can be used in a variety of applications, including:

- High-speed, continuous data logging
- Transient and ballistics measurements
- Radar, sonar, ultrasound
- High-energy physics
- IF digitization

Enable Warp Mode to Achieve Maximum Sampling Rates
PCI-6132 analog inputs sample up to 2.5 MS/s using the onboard sample clock; they can sample up to 3 MS/s using one of the onboard counters or an external reference as the sample clock. Download the LabVIEW example from the Resources tab to enable warp mode and achieve the maximum sampling rates.

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 S Series DAQ 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 and LabVIEW SignalExpress 1.x. S Series DAQ devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.0.

NI-DAQmx Driver Software
Quickly gather real-world data with the NI-DAQmx driver software featuring measurement-ready virtual channels and configuration abilities using the DAQ Assistant.
