National Instruments PCI-6722 Analog Output Device

The National Instruments PCI-6722 (Part Number: 778705-01) is a 13-bit, high-speed, high channel density Analog Output Device. This model offers up to 800 kS/s update rate per channel and comes featured with external clocking, digital triggering, an integrated synchronization bus, and 24-bit counters/timers. This device has 8 analog output channels designed to operate over an output range of ±10 V. Moreover, this device also has 8 TTL/CMOS compatible digital I/O lines. The National Instruments PCI 6722 device can also be utilized as a low-cost, high efficiency arbitrary waveform generator since it can generate up to 500 kHz waveforms. Thus, with this device it is possible to generate common waveforms such as sine, square, and complex waveforms.

The NI PCI 6722 offers the capability to be deployed as master or slave of a timing and triggering system consisting of several devices. For this, the integration technologies can be utilized, such as RTSI bus and PFI pins. These options allow the user to synchronize and trigger a broad range of I/O types, ranging from image acquisition, analog input, high-speed digitizers, motion control to multifunction DAQs (data acquisition devices). Thus, the NI PCI-6722 allows users to create a robust, custom test, and control infrastructure with no complication.

This voltage output device is fully compatible with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. Thus, users can consider it a viable solution for Real-Time control applications as well. The NI PCI-6722 not only supports common control algorithms like PID, but also allow users to implement cutting-edge and complex control algorithms.
