National Instruments PXI-7030-6030E

The National Instruments PXI-7030/6030E Multifunction I/O Board, identified by part number 777837-02, is an advanced 16-bit device designed for efficient data acquisition applications within the RT Series. Featuring an integrated processor, this board ensures high reliability and performance. It occupies two PXI slots and encompasses two key components: the I/O daughter board (6030E) and the processor board (7030). The PXI-7030/6030E is capable of acquiring samples at a rate of 100 kS/s with an input range of ±0.1 to ±10 V, and it provides two analog outputs also operating at a rate of 100 kS/s with an output range of ±10 V. Additional functionality includes two 24-bit counters/timers for precise timing applications.

At the heart of the board lies an AMD 486DX5 processor operating at 133 MHz, combined with a 33 MHz CPU bus speed. The system is equipped with 32 MB of EDO RAM, a 16 KB write-back on-chip cache, a 256 KB write-back L2 cache, and an integrated floating-point unit to enhance computational capabilities. The board's design allows for the incorporation of a safety shutdown mechanism, ensuring operational integrity within larger measurement systems. Its dimensions are 16 cm by 10 cm (6.3 in. by 3.9 in.), and it typically consumes 3.5 A while powered at +5 VDC (±5%).

The PXI-7030/6030E supports deterministic communication with host computers and is fully programmable using the LabVIEW Real-Time Module. It also features 1 KB of SRAM for shared memory, facilitating efficient host-embedded communication. The device fully supports analog and digital triggering, and users can expand functionality through the integration of NI SCXI or SCC products for enhanced signal conditioning and channel counting. Although this model has been designated obsolete by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repair through Apex Waves.
