National Instruments PCIe-6363 Multifunction I/O Device

The PCIe-6363 is a high-speed Multifunction I/O Device designed by National Instruments. The PCIe-6363 device is available under part number 781051-01. This model is a high-speed DAQ offering high bandwidth with accurate measurements. This device offers an incorporation of analog and digital channels and counters.  This device features high-level timing technology. An NI-STC3 chipset is installed in the PCIe-6363 to control triggering and timing. A special feature of the PCIe-6363 is self-calibration; the calibration interval is two years.

The PCIe-6363 Multifunction I/O Device has 32 16-bit analog channels. These channels can be used as 16 differential channels. This device does not offer simultaneous sampling. The maximum sampling rate of the PCIe-6363 is 2 MS/sec. The supported voltage of the input channels is from +0.1 V to +10V. The impedance of the input channels is >10 GΩ. The input channels have an absolute accuracy of 1660 µV.

There are four output channels on this device. The maximum update rate depends on the number of channels being updated simultaneously. The highest update rate is 2.86 MS/sec for 1 channel, but it reduces to 1.25 MS/sec when four channels are updated at the same time. The output voltage options of the PCIe-6363 are +5V and +10 V. The analog channels of the PCIe-6363 are DC-coupled. The PCIe-6363 also features FIFO buffers for both input and output channels.

The PCIe-6363 Multifunction I/O Device also has 48 digital I/O channels. These channels can be programmed. The digital channels have overvoltage protection up to +20 Volts. Four 32-bit counters are additionally available in the PCIe-6363. The FIFO buffers of the counters can save 127 samples.
