PCI-6289

 DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
The NI PCI-6289 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. They are ideal for applications including device test and characterization and for sensor and signal measurements requiring instrument-class accuracy. Contact NI to order the RoHS-compliant version of the PCI-6289 (P/N 779737-01).

Driver Software
M Series devices work with multiple OSs using three driver software options including NI-DAQmx, NI-DAQmx Base, and the NI Measurement Hardware DDK. Refer to 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 Software
With NI LabVIEW, you can create custom data acquisition applications with the ease of graphical programming and power of more than 500 analysis functions and advanced programming tools. LabVIEW Full and Professional development systems include LabVIEW SignalExpress for interactive data logging. M Series DAQ devices are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software - LabVIEW 7.x, LabWindows™/CVI 7.x, or Measurement Studio 7.x; LabVIEW SignalExpress 1.x; or LabVIEW with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 7.1. M Series DAQ devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, ANSI C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.0.

PCI-6255

DOWNLAOD DATA SHEET 
 The National Instruments PCI-6255 is a high-speed multifunction M Series data acquisition (DAQ) board optimized for superior accuracy at fast sampling rates. For optimal performance using the NI PCI-6255, NI recommends using the SHC68-68-EPM cable for connector 0 and the SHC68-68 cable for connector 1. The SCC-68 or other NI signal conditioning accessories are not compatible with connector 1. Also consider the high-accuracy M Series devices with an 18-bit analog-to-digital converter for a 4X resolution increase.

High-speed M Series devices incorporate advanced features such as the NI-STC 2 system controller, NI-PGIA 2 programmable amplifier, and NI-MCal calibration technology to increase performance and accuracy. High-speed M Series devices have an onboard NI-PGIA 2 amplifier designed for fast settling time at high scanning rates, ensuring 16-bit accuracy even when measuring all channels at maximum speeds. To learn more about M Series technologies, device specifications, and information on recommended cables and accessories, please refer to the data sheet and specifications.
