National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-4 Multifunction I/O Device

The National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-4 (Part Numbers: PCI-6040E and 777383-01) is a Multifunction, Plug-n-play, PCI controlled and powered Data Acquisition Device. This device can acquire 250 kS/s while operating in multichannel mode, and 500 kS/s when operating in single-channel scanning mode. The PCI-MIO-16E-4 has 16 differential or 8 single-ended analog input channels with 12-bit resolution, and eight 5 V TTL/CMOS digital I/O lines. Moreover, 2 analog output channels with 12-bit resolution, a sample rate of 512 Samples/s, with an output range of ±10 V are also provided. It has 3 DMA channels (scatter-gather modes).

This Multifunction I/O Device tends to operate in seamless synchronization with various National Instruments devices. For timing related functions and synchronization, it comes equipped with 2 timing I/O channels with a 24-bit resolution, and a frequency of 20 MHz. It has a small input signal bandwidth of 600 kHz, and a large input signal bandwidth of 350 kHz. In addition, the NI PCI-MIO-16E-4 is designed to work with externally generated timing signals. The analog outputs featured in this device can be used for waveform generation with a frequency of 1 MS per second. The two internal counters come with two inputs (gate and source), two software registers, and one output which is used in different applications. This device is fitted with a 68-pin male 0.050 D-type connector.

The PCI-MIO-16E-4 DAQ can work with any PCI compatible personal computer operating on Microsoft Windows or Mac OS. The 16-bit analog inputs of this DAQ device support differential input mode also. Thus, 8 differential inputs are also possible with this device. With this Multifunction I/O Device, you can configure each analog output channel for either bipolar or unipolar output. The NI DAQ PCI-MIO-16E-4 supports both digital hardware-timed and software-timed generation. This PCI data acquisition board is fully compatible with NI-DAQ, which is a robust driver software that comes with various helpful features such as cleaner code development, automatic code generation, test panels, etc. The device weighs 4.1 oz., and measures 6.9 x 4.2 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes, and a calibration interval of 1 year.

The PCI-MIO-16E-4 DAQ 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-4 DAQ 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-4 DAQ with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
