National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-1 Multifunction I/O Device

Featured with 2 x 24-bit, 20 MHz up/down timers/counters, the PCI-MIO-16E-1 (Part numbers: PCI-6070E, 777305-01) is a Multifunction DAQ (Data Acquisition Card) by National Instruments. This model offers 2 x 12-bit analog outputs and 8 digital I/O lines. The National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-1 utilizes E-Series technology to provide the user with high-performance and reliable DAQ capabilities. With this model, the user can accomplish up to 1.25 MS/s sampling rate with 12-bit resolution and 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs. The device is equipped with a 68-pin male 0.050 D-type I/O connector.

This device has an onboard temperature sensor to ensure that its operating temperature is within the specified range. The National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-1 supports both analog and digital triggers and has an input range of ±0.05 to ±10 V. It has 2 12-bit analog voltage outputs, with an output rate and range of 1 MS/s and ±10 V respectively. The device has 2 counter/timer I/O lines with a 24-bit resolution, and base clocks of 20 MHz, 100 kHz (with an accuracy of ±0.01%). With a stable performance and astonishing sampling rates, the PCI-MIO-16E-1 becomes an ideal choice for a variety of applications, ranging from control applications or sensor measurements to continuous high-speed data logging.

This DAQ can also be used in conjunction with NI signal conditioning through the PXI trigger bus or RTSI bus for a comfortable synchronization and integration of other hardware, such as machine vision and motion control to formulate an entire control and measurement system. The National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-1 features an onboard self-calibration mechanism as well. This system provides a precise voltage as a reference for measurement accuracy and calibration. The self-calibration function operates through software alone and has no potentiometers to adjust. For optimal resolution, this DAQ offers up to 15 input ranges even for smaller than 50 mV signals. The device has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes and should be calibrated at least once a year.

The NI device weighs 4.1 oz, and measures 6.9 x 4.2 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, and a storage temperature range of –20 to 70 °C.

The PCI-MIO-16E-1 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-MIO-16E-1 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-MIO-16E-1 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
