NI 6154
The NI 6154 is an isolated Plug-and-Play multifunction analog, digital, and
timing I/O device for PCI bus computers.
The NI 6154 features:
•
Four differential 16-bit analog inputs
•
Four 16-bit analog output channels
•
Ten lines of DIO (6 DI and 4 DO)
•
Isolation for each AI and AO channel from the chassis and from one
another
•
Bank isolation for DIO from the chassis
Because the NI 6154 has no DIP switches, jumpers, or potentiometers, it
can be easily calibrated and configured in software.
NI 6154 Analog Output
The NI 6154 supplies four channels of AO voltage at the I/O connector. The
range is fixed at bipolar ±10 V.
The AO channels on the NI 6154 contain 16-bit DACs that are capable of
250 kS/s for each channel. The AO channels are isolated from each other,
from the AI channels, and from the chassis. Refer to the
