The National Instruments 777514-01 is a multifunction I/O device, specifically the PCI-6031, designed to deliver exceptional versatility for a wide range of industrial applications. This PCI-based board features two 16-bit analog outputs, eight digital I/O lines, and two 24-bit counters, along with an impressive capacity for handling 64 single-ended or 32 differential analog inputs. Whether utilized in production testing, research environments, design verification, or laboratory automation, the 777514-01 ensures reliable data acquisition performance across various tasks.

With the capability to expand measurement flexibility, this device supports additional sensor and high-voltage measurement features through compatible SCC or SCXI signal conditioning modules. The integration of the user-friendly NI-DAQmx driver enhances configuration and measurement operations, streamlining the setup process. Built with the National Instruments MITE bus interface chip, the board eliminates the need for manual configuration, as it complies with the PCI Local Bus Specification for automated memory location and interrupt configuration.

At the core of its functionality is the DAQ-STC system timing controller, which orchestrates all time-related functions through three distinct timing groups focused on analog inputs, analog outputs, and general-purpose counter/timer tasks. This advanced controller enables sophisticated applications such as buffered pulse generation and equivalent time sampling, along with dynamic sampling rate adjustments. To facilitate synchronization across multiple measurements, the 777514-01 includes an RTSI bus interface and a ribbon cable, allowing precise timing and trigger signal transmission among up to five DAQ boards within a single system.

Through its robust design, the 777514-01 interfaces seamlessly with various sensors, accommodating over 3,000 analog input channels for devices such as thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, voltage, and current sources. This extensive input capability makes it an ideal choice for complex data acquisition tasks that require a wide range of signal sources.

Technical specifications for the National Instruments 777514-01 include: 64 single-ended or 32 differential analog inputs, two 16-bit analog outputs, eight digital I/O lines, two 24-bit counters, a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s, and PCI interface compatibility. The device also supports analog triggering to enhance data collection efficiency.
