National Instruments PXI-6289 PXI Multifunction I/O Module

The National Instruments PXI-6289 is a PXI Multifunction I/O Module with 4 AO, 48 DIO, 32 AI, 18-Bit resolution, and 625 kS/s maximum sample rate. This model also offers two 32-bit counter/timers, analog triggering, as well as digital triggering. The NI PXI-6289 is known for its low cost, reliable DAQ capability and can be utilized in a broad range of applications in research, laboratory automation, design validation, etc. With this module, the user can add high-voltage measurement capability and sensors to a device by using SCXI or SCC signal conditioning modules. The PXI-6289 has two-part numbers; the 779639-01 has a PXI hybrid bus connector and the 779123-01 has a PXI bus connector. The device has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes, and should be externally calibrated at least once in 2 years.

 The NI PXI-6289 M Series DAQ is offered with a configuration utility and NI-DAQmx drivers. Thus, the user can easily configure this module. As far as its analog input characteristics are concerned, this module features 16 differential or 32 single-ended channels and 500 kS/s sample rate while operating in multichannel mode. In addition, it has 50 ns timing resolution, 50 ppm timing accuracy, and DC input coupling.

The NI PXI-6289 operates with >10 GΩ AI+ to AI GND and >10 GΩ AI- to AI GND input impedance in parallel with 100 pF. For data transfers, this model supports DMA (scatter-gather), programmed I/O and interrupts. The NI PXI-6289 M Series DAQ comes with integrated overvoltage protection for all sense and analog input channels, set at ±25 V for up to eight AI pins. This Multifunction I/O Module supports various triggering functions, including Pause Trigger, Sample Clock, start trigger, reference trigger, etc. It is equipped with 2 68-pin VHDCI I/O connectors.

The standard 3U PXI device weighs 8.4 oz. It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of 0 ºC to 55 ºC and -20 ºC to 70 ºC respectively, a non-condensing relative humidity range of 10% RH to 90% RH, operating and non-operating random vibrations of 0.3 grms and 2.4 grms respectively–all at a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz.

The PXI-6289 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 PXI-6289 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 PXI-6289 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
