National Instruments AT-MIO-16H Multifunction I/O Board

The AT-MIO-16H is a multifunction input/output board for the PC/AT designed by National Instruments. The AT-MIO-16H is built with part number 320476-01. The AT-MIO-16H is operated with NIDAQ drivers. The NI AT-MIO-16H can be installed on Windows operating systems and programmed with LabVIEW and LabWindows application software. To use the AT-MIO-16H, you need several products: the AT-MIO-16H interface board, the user manual, software, and computer systems.

The AT-MIO-16H board is one of the two versions of the AT-MIO-16 with software-programmable gain settings of 1, 2, 4, and 8 for high-level analog input signals. The “h” in the part number indicates the board can handle high-level input signals. On the other hand, the AT-MIO-16L is built for low-level input signals. This board contains an analog-to-digital-conversion by 9 micro-sec conversion time and can handle DAQ rates up to 100 kHz. The NI AT-MIO-16H is a high-performance data acquisition board used for laboratory test, measurement, and controlling applications. This board provides a high-efficiency rate based on 12-bits high settling-speed.

The AT-MIO-16H is generated with a Real-Time-System-Integration (RTSI) bus to synchronize several computation tasks to the central trigger or timing-switch that makes it unique from the other DAQ boards. The AT-MIO-16H is configured to provide interfacing facilities to the signal state extensions for modules like the SCXI system. This board can attain nearly 3000 analog signals from different kinds of devices like strain gauges, voltage and current sources, and RTDs. The NI AT-MIO-16H can also obtain analog signals from thermocouples. The AT-MIO-16H helps generate digital signals for controlling and communication purposes.
