National Instruments PCI-6133 Multifunction I/O Device

The PCI-6133 (Part numbers: 779420-01, 779421-01, 191215A-03) is a Multifunction I/O Device from National Instruments. This device allows the user to carry out data acquisition procedures swiftly and with ease. It enables the user to fulfill various testing requirements with high efficiency. The NI PCI 6133 features exceptional input characteristics. It incorporates eight input channels. It also incorporates an in-house ADC with a resolution of 14 bits. The NI PCI-6133 has the sampling rate of 2.5 MS. This value is per second for each channel separately. It also implements the DC mechanism for input coupling requirements.

The NI PCI-6133 Multifunction I/O Device features schemes for simultaneous sampling, which further enhances its area of applications. This feature allows the users to utilize the device for equipment testing as well as manufacturing procedures. The input FIFO size can be up to 32 MS. It also offers the capability to program the transfers of input or output data. The user can also make use of DMA or interrupt schemes for this purpose. It takes around fifteen minutes to warm up the device to start any testing procedures. The NI PCI-6133 device also has eight I/O channels for digital data–these digital channels are TTL or CMOS compatible. Also, it has 2 counter/timer I/O lines with a 24-bit resolution and a frequency of 20 MHz. It is equipped with 1 68-pin male SCSI II type I/O connector.

The PCI-6133 is run using the NIDAQmx driver software which is compatible with software packages or application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. The device can be verified using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool.

The NI PCI-6133 device offers various trigger capabilities. This includes digital, analog, and RTSI triggers. The instrument comes with built-in Base clocks. Their frequency is 20 MHz to enable the operation of counters or timers. The physical dimensions of the NI PCI-6133 Multifunction I/O Device are 31.2 x 10.6 centimeters. It has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes, recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of 0 to 50 °C and –20 to 70 °C respectively, and a non-condensing humidity range of 10 to 90% RH.

The PCI-6133 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-6133 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-6133 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
