The National Instruments PCI-7030/6533 is a sophisticated multifunction Data Acquisition (DAQ) device from the RT Series, designed for high-performance data acquisition tasks. This system comprises two key components: the NI 6533 DAQ board, which serves as the daughter board and handles all data acquisition functions, and the NI 7030 processor board, featuring a 133 MHz AMD 486 DX5 central processing unit along with essential support circuitry, including SRAM, DRAM, and BIOS. The processor board also contains shared memory, facilitating efficient communication between the onboard processor and the host machine.

Equipped with 32 digital input/output lines that operate at 5 V TTL levels, the PCI-7030/6533 achieves a maximum data transfer rate of 2.0 Mbytes/s. It incorporates an integrated RTSI bus for direct connections between multiple DAQ boards, ensuring precise synchronization while allowing compatibility with standard DAQ boards. Users can monitor application states through two user-controlled LEDs on the processor board, which also signal persistent internal errors by remaining lit.

The PCI-7030/6533 supports a range of triggering options, including digital and analog triggering, handshaking I/O, change detection, and Pattern I/O. It is compatible with NI-DAQ 6.5.2 and later versions, as well as LabVIEW RT, making it suitable for various programming needs. Although the PCI-7030/6533 has been designated as obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and support through Apex Waves.
