The National Instruments PXI-6031E is a high-performance multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) device designed for demanding applications in industrial automation and control systems. Engineered within the E Series, this device features 64 single-ended or 32 differential analog input channels with a 16-bit resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s, accommodating an input voltage range of ±0.1 to ±10 V. The PXI-6031E includes 14 selectable input ranges, complemented by a FIFO buffer size of 1,024 samples and onboard memory capable of managing 512 samples.

In addition to its versatile input capabilities, the PXI-6031E boasts two output channels featuring 16-bit resolution, a FIFO buffer size of 2,048 samples, and the same 100 kS/s output rate, making it suitable for high-speed data logging and control applications, particularly when paired with National Instruments signal conditioning accessories. The device is equipped with an onboard temperature sensor that monitors operating conditions to ensure reliable performance within the specified range. Triggering capabilities include both analog signal level triggers and digital signal edge triggers.

The PXI-6031E provides eight bidirectional digital I/O channels with software-controlled timing and TTL logic levels, capable of handling input and output voltages ranging from 0 V to 5 V. It supports DC input coupling at a maximum working voltage of ±11 V and features two 24-bit counter/timer I/O channels with base clocks of 20 MHz and 100 kHz, ensuring a high level of accuracy at ±0.01%. A frequency generator with 4-bit resolution further enhances the device’s utility.

This multifunction DAQ accommodates three DMA channels with scatter-gather capabilities, enabling flexible data routing across various sources and destinations including analog input, analog output, and counter/timer functions. Connectivity is facilitated through a 0.05 D-type, 100-pin female connector, and the unit operates at a power supply range of +4.65 to +5.25 VDC at 1 A. The compact dimensions of the PXI-6031E are 6.3 x 3.9 inches, ensuring it fits within space-constrained environments. For operational and maintenance needs, user and maintenance manuals are available for download, and the device comes with a three-year warranty.
