National Instruments PCI-6014 Multifunction DAQ

The National Instruments PCI-6014 (Part Number: 778627-01) is a PCI bus based Multifunction Data Acquisition Device (DAQ) suitable for OEMs and less experienced users. This device offers 16 Single-ended or 8 Differential Input Channels and 2 Analog Outputs at resolution of 16 bits. The NI PCI-6014 has ±0.05 to ±10 input range and ±10 output range. This DAQ can acquire samples at 200 kS/s and generate the output at 10 kS/s. This B Series Multifunction DAQ comes equipped with two counters/timers and eight digital I/O.

The ADC (analog-to-digital converter) incorporated in the NI DAQ PCI 6014 is a successive approximation ADC. The Analog Input <0...15> terminals incorporated in the NI PCI 6014 operate under an overvoltage protection set at ±25 V in the operating state and ±15 V in the idle state. The one DMA channel provided on this device has 512 words configuration memory size and can be operated in scatter-gather mode. The National Instruments PCI 6014 comes with 512 samples FIFO buffer size and supports interrupts, DMA, and programmed I/O data transfer modes.

With one 4 bit frequency scaler, two 24 bit up/down counters/timers, and 5 V TTL/CMOS compatibility, the PCI 6014 can be considered for various Timing I/O functions.  Two voltage analog output channels on this device are backed by double-buffered multiplying DACs. These 16-bit resolution channels offer up to 10 kHz maximum update rate. There is a shared DMA channel available to all resources on the board. This device draws 0.7 A of current, weighs around 104 g, and its physical dimensions are 16.2 cm × 9.2 cm. The NI 6014 is equipped with a 68-pin male SCSI-II type I/O connector and has a maximum working voltage of 11V. The device has an ideal operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C.

The NI 6014 is run using the NI-DAQmx driver software which must be installed first. After installation of the software, the user needs to install support for their choice Application Development Environment-which could be LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, C/C++, C#, or Visual Basic .NET.

PCI-6014 Obsolete Status has been announced by National Instruments, but the Multifunction DAQ will still be available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves.

The PCI-6014 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the PCI-6014 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the PCI-6014 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped. Call or email us today for more information about calibrating the PCI-6014!
