The National Instruments PXI-6030E Multifunction DAQ Device (Part Number: 777555-01) is an advanced data acquisition solution designed for diverse applications in industrial automation and control systems. This E Series device features 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels, providing 16-bit resolution with a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s. The PXI-6030E is equipped with two 16-bit analog outputs, two 24-bit counters, and eight digital I/O lines, ensuring versatile signal processing capabilities. It supports both bipolar and unipolar input configurations, allowing for input voltage ranges between –Vref to +Vref and 0 to Vref, respectively. The device ensures accuracy with specifications including ±0.5 LSB relative accuracy and guaranteed monotonicity at 16 bits. This DAQ device is compliant with the PXI Specification Rev 1.0, facilitating automatic bus-related configurations without user intervention.

Operational efficiency is enhanced with the NIDAQmx driver software, which provides seamless integration with popular application development environments such as LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI. The PXI-6030E requires no physical jumpers, DIP switches, or potentiometers, making it easy to software-configure and calibrate, with a recommended calibration interval of one year. The device measures 6.3 x 3.9 inches and features a robust triggering system for a variety of analog and digital triggers, along with a 68-pin male SCSI-II I/O connector. While the PXI-6030E has been declared obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users.
