Table 1. Channel, Speed, and Resolution Specifications
Overview and Applications
National Instruments 612x and 613x devices combine the latest in
PC technologies to deliver simultaneous sampling for high-channelcount, high-speed applications. Use these modules in a variety of
applications, including:
• IF digitization
• Transient recording
• ISDN, ADSL, and POTS manufacturing test in the telecom industry
• Ultrasound and sonar testing
• High-energy physics
constant, regardless of the number of active channels. S Series
aggregate data throughput increases linearly with the number of
active channels.
Better Dynamic Specifications – The analog input path on S Series
devices is tuned for both accurate DC and dynamic measurements,
compared to traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices that
suffer from settling time and distortion error created by switching
the input channel. Traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices
are ideal for DC measurements, but are not the best solution for
dynamic measurements.
Features
These devices fall under the NI S Series product family. The “S”
stands for simultaneous sampling, as this is the most apparent
benefit of the dedicated analog-to-digital (A/D) converter per
channel architecture. However, the architecture has other less
obvious but very important advantages.
More Data Throughput – The dedicated A/D converter per channel
architecture provides a much higher aggregate sampling rate
compared to traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices.
Traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices share one A/D converter
among multiple channels, keeping the aggregate data throughput
Many Input Ranges – You can configure each analog input channel to
use one of several voltage ranges. Make the most of your input
resolution by selecting among the four voltage ranges offered by the
NI 612x and 613x devices.
Large Onboard Memory – NI 6123 and NI 6133 devices feature a 16 or
32 MS onboard memory while the NI 6122 and NI 6132 devices
feature a 16 MS memory. With deep onboard memory, capture highbandwidth signals over long periods of time, regardless of
bus limitations.
