National Instruments PCI-6711

The National Instruments PCI-6711 (Part Number: 777740-01) is a high-performance analog output device engineered for various control and waveform output applications within industrial automation environments. This versatile device supports simultaneous multichannel updates, making it ideal for deterministic control tasks, power supply management, stimulus-response operations, and sensor/signal modeling. With four analog output channels featuring a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the PCI-6711 achieves a maximum output sampling rate of 1 MS/s per channel, delivering precise control over complex and standard waveforms such as sine, square, and sawtooth.

In addition to its analog capabilities, the PCI-6711 includes eight TTL/CMOS-compatible digital I/O lines and two 24-bit counter/timer channels with a frequency of 20 MHz, catering to a wide range of digital signal processing tasks. Designed for ease of use, the PCI-6711 features a switchless and jumperless architecture enabled by the National Instruments MITE bus interface chip, allowing for simplified software-based configuration of interrupts and base memory addresses. The device utilizes the DAQ-STC system timing controller, which comprises three timing groups to efficiently manage general-purpose counter/timer functions and analog outputs with up to 50 ns timing resolution.

To further enhance synchronization capabilities, the PCI-6711 is equipped with a Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus, facilitating the routing of timing and trigger signals across various I/O features. With robust connectivity through a 68-pin male SCSI-II connector, the PCI-6711 is compatible with PCI, PXI, or CompactPCI systems and requires a power supply of +5 V at 0.8 A. Supported by the NI-DAQmx driver and Measurement & Automation Explorer configuration utility, the PCI-6711 offers comprehensive software compatibility for seamless integration into automated control applications.
