National Instruments AT-MIO-16 Multifunction I/O Board for the PC/AT

The AT-MIO-16 is a Multifunction I/O Board for the PC/AT (Part Number: 320476-01) boasting high-performance and a user-configurable DAQ board (12-bit) to optimize various user operations (test/measurement, laboratory applications, data collection, and data manipulation. National Instruments offers the AT-MIO16 Multifunction I/O Board for the PC/AT in multiple user versions depending on the level of the input signals (low or high).

The AT-MIO16 Multifunction I/O Board for the PC/AT offers 16 single-ended terminals and can be configured to use 8 differential channels. Additional channels may be obtained using extensions. The AT-MIO16 Multifunction I/O Board has the following features: 256-word analog to digital buffer, sampling analog to digital converter (ADC) with a data transfer rate of upwards of 200 ksamples/sec, buffered digital/analog converters, 0.5-100 variable gain setting, an auto-calibrating circuit system, multiple input/output lines for digital applications, 4 triggers, on-board timers, 1/2/4/8 programmable gain settings, and a Real-Time-System-Integration bus interface.

Due to its dual channel DMA and FIFOS, the AT-MIO16 Multifunction I/O Board for the PC/AT maintains high performance despite environmental conditions. For instance, the AT-MIO16 can still be used with Windows environments in which there are long interrupt latencies. With the At-MIO16, users can communicate with Signal Conditionaing eXtensions for Instrumentation system and gather up to 3,000 analog signals from components (thermocouples, RTDs, volt and current sources, and strain gauges. The AT-MIO-16H can offer interfacing facilities to signal state extensions SCXI system modules among other. Digital signals may also be gathers and synthesized to further improve communication can control capabilities. 

The AT-MIO16 Multifunction I/O Board for the PC/AT assembly comes with the AT-MIO-16 board and AT-MIO-16 User Manual Introduction and is compatible with the NI-DAQ software, LabVIEW, and LabWindows. The AT-MIO16 grants users greater throughput, higher gains, pre-triggering of software, control and communication capabilities for digital signals, and analog input that can be configured by users.
