Overview and Applications
National Instruments low-cost E Series multifunction data acquisition
devices provide full functionality at a price to meet the needs of the
budget-conscious user. They are ideal for applications ranging from
continuous high-speed data logging to control applications to high-voltage
signal or sensor measurements when used with NI signal conditioning.
Synchronize the operations of multiple devices using the RTSI bus or PXI
trigger bus to easily integrate other hardware such as motion control and
machine vision to create an entire measurement and control system.
Highly Accurate Hardware Design
NI low-cost E Series DAQ devices include the following features
and technologies:
Temperature Drift Protection Circuitry –
Designed with components
that minimize the effect of temperature changes on measurements to
less than 0.0010% of reading/°C.
Resolution-Improvement Technologies –
Carefully designed noise
floor maximizes the resolution.
Onboard Self-Calibration –
Precise voltage reference included for
calibration and measurement accuracy. Self-calibration is completely
software controlled, with no potentiometers to adjust.
NI DAQ-STC –
Timing and control ASIC designed to provide more
flexibility, lower power consumption, and a higher immunity to noise
and jitter than off-the-shelf counter/timer chips.
NI MITE
– ASIC designed to optimize data transfer for multiple
simultaneous operations using bus mastering with one DMA channel,
interrupts, or programmed I/O.
NI PGIA –
Measurement and instrument class amplifier that guarantees
settling times at all gains. Typical commercial off-the-shelf amplifier
components do not meet the settling time requirements for high-gain
measurement applications.
PFI Lines –
Eight programmable function input (PFI) lines that you can
use for software-controlled routing of interboard and intraboard digital
and timing signals.
RTSI or PXI Trigger Bus –
Bus used to share timing and control signals
between two or more PCI or PXI devices to synchronize operations.
RSE Mode –
In addition to differential and nonreferenced single-ended
modes, NI low-cost E Series devices offer the referenced single-ended
(RSE) mode for use with floating-signal sources in applications with
channel counts higher than eight.
Onboard Temperature Sensor –
Included for monitoring the operating
temperature of the device to ensure that it is operating within the
specified range.
