DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
The National Instruments PCI-6280 is a high-accuracy multifunction M Series data acquisition (DAQ) board optimized for 18-bit analog input accuracy. This resolution is equivalent to 5½ digits for DC measurements. To ensure accuracy, the NI-PGIA 2 amplifier technology is optimized for high linearity and fast settling to 18 bits, and programmable lowpass filters reject high-frequency noise and prevent aliasing.
High-accuracy M Series devices feature programmable offsets and references on the analog output channels to obtain maximum 16-bit resolution on any custom signal. High-accuracy M Series multifunction DAQ devices are ideal for applications including device test and characterization, and for sensor and signal measurements requiring instrument-class accuracy. To learn more about M Series technologies, device specifications, and information on recommended cables and accessories, please refer to the data sheet and specifications.
Driver Software
M Series devices work with multiple operating systems using three driver software options including NI-DAQmx, NI-DAQmx Base, and the Measurement Hardware DDK. Browse the information in the Resources tab to learn more about driver software or download a driver. M Series devices are not compatible with the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver.
Application Development Environments
