The National Instruments 777097-01 Multifunction I/O Board, also known as the PCI-1200, is a versatile and cost-effective solution designed for high-performance data acquisition and control applications in various settings, including laboratory testing, production testing, and industrial process monitoring. This multifunction I/O board, part of the PCI Series, features eight analog input channels, providing the ability to configure either eight single-ended inputs or four differential inputs. It is equipped with a 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and two 12-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with voltage outputs. Additionally, the board includes 24 TTL-compatible digital I/O lines and three 16-bit counter/timers for timing input/output operations.

The 777097-01 is designed for flexibility and ease of integration, supporting multiple input modes such as referenced single-ended (RSE), non-referenced single-ended (NRSE), and differential (DIFF) configurations. Users can leverage National Instruments’ software, including the comprehensive NI-DAQ library, to fully optimize the capabilities of this board. It is compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2, ensuring seamless resource allocation within the host system. The analog output channels can be configured for bipolar (-5 to +5 V) or unipolar (0 to 10 V) outputs, offering adaptability for a wide range of applications, including those that require precise data acquisition and control. With a combination of robust hardware specifications and straightforward software support, the 777097-01 provides a reliable solution for diverse measurement and automation tasks.
