National Instruments NI-9263 Voltage Output Module

The NI-9263 (Part Numbers: 779012-01 and 783740-01) is a C Series Voltage Output Module featured with 4 analog output channels, 100 kS/s per channel maximum sample rate, and ±10 V analog output voltage range. The two part numbers have the same specifications, except for their front connectors. Part number 783740-01 has a Spring Terminal front connector, while part number 779012-01 has a Screw Terminal front connector. The NI 9263 Analog Output Module is not conformal coated but is an enclosed module. This module comes with several useful protective functions, such as overvoltage and short-circuit protection. In addition, the NI-9263 is known for its fast slew rate, high relative accuracy, low crosstalk, and NIST traceable calibration. This model also features a channel-to-earth ground-based double isolation barrier for noise immunity and safety. Each channel of the NI-9263 has an integrated AO terminal for the user to link the positive lead of a load.

This Voltage Output Module operates with string type of DAC and offers a DAC resolution of 16 bits. As far as its output voltage range is concerned, it provides ±10 V nominal, ±11 V maximum, ±10.7 V typical ±10.3 V minimum with 0.1Ω output impedance and ±1 mA (per channel max) current drive. The NI-9263 is a sophisticated performer regarding accuracy as well. When adequately calibrated, this model can operate with a gain error as low as 0.01% (at (25 °C, ±5 °C). Additionally, scores for the gain drift and offset drift is 6 ppm/°C and 80μV/°C respectively. The overvoltage protection setting for the NI 9263 is ±30 V. The device can be programmed using software packages like LabVIEW Real-Time module, LabVIEW FPGA Module, and LabVIEW Professional Development System for Windows.

The National Instruments 9263 consumes 625 W max, while operating in active mode and 25 μW maximum in sleep mode. This module weighs 5.3 ounces with screw terminal front connectors and 4.9 ounces with spring terminal front connectors. This product meets the requirements of various safety and EMC standards for electrical equipment for control, laboratory use, and measurement, including IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, etc. The device has a recommended operating temperature range of 40 °C to 70 °C.
