The National Instruments PCI-7030/6030E is a multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) device designed for real-time applications, featuring a dedicated AMD 486DX5 processor operating at 133 MHz. With 1 kB of shared SRAM and 8 MB of user-programmable DRAM, this compact device integrates a processor board and a DAQ daughter board to deliver high-performance measurement capabilities. The PCI-7030/6030E supports 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, and provides two 16-bit analog outputs and eight digital I/O lines. This device operates independently due to its embedded processor, making it ideal for critical applications requiring reliable performance, even in the event of host computer failure. A safety shutdown mechanism can also be incorporated to enhance system safety. Fully compliant with PCI Local Bus Specifications Rev 2.0, the device simplifies setup by managing PCI bus configurations without user intervention. Please note that while the PCI-7030/6030E is classified as obsolete, it remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves. For compatibility, the device requires NI-DAQ driver software version 6.5.2 or newer.
