National Instruments PCIe-6353 Multifunction I/O Device

The PCIe-6353 is a high-speed Multifunction I/O Device from National Instruments. The PCIe-6353 is available under part number 781049-01. The PCIe-6353 is a 16-bit X-Series DAQ Device. The PCIe-6353 device implements NI-STC3 technology. This technology ensures high performance in timing and synchronization functions. The supported bus connector for the PCIe-6353 is PCI Express.

The NI PCIe-6353 X Series model offers different types of channels. It includes differential and single ended channels. The device has 32 single ended channels. It also includes 16 differential terminals at the input. These terminals are analog. It also features the flexibility to select these terminals with the help of software. This device has the sampling rate of 1.25 MS per second. The PCIe-6353 X-Series device does not support simultaneous sampling. This model has a resolution of 10 nanoseconds for timing for its 4 analog outputs (with a 16-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 2.86 MS/s). The PCIe-6353 device comes with built-in analog input FIFO buffers. The PCIe-6353 device also has 48 terminals that can be programmed. These digital terminals are integrated for both the inputs and outputs of the device.

The PCIe-6353 Multifunction I/O Device has four counters or timers as well. They have 32 bits resolution. These counters are used for different purposes like PWM, event counting, encoding, and frequency. The PCIe-6353 comes with a built-in frequency generator, which is equipped with three base clocks. Their frequencies are fixed at the following values: 100 kHz, 10 MHz, and 20 MHz. The PCIe-6353 comes with two 68-pin VHDCI female connectors for different functions.

The PCIe-6353 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 I/O device has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes, and should be externally calibrated at least once in 2 years.

The NI device weighs 0.37 lb, and measures 3.9 x 6.6 in. in physical dimensions. It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of 0 to 50 °C and -40 to 70 ºC respectively, non-condensing operating and storage humidity ranges of 10 to 90% RH and 5 to 95% RH respectively.

The PCIe-6353 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 PCIe-6353 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 PCIe-6353 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
