Product Details

The NI PCI-6030E is a high-precision E-series multifunction DAQ card built for PCI bus industrial PCs, designed for high-resolution analog measurement and stimulus-response automated testing. It adopts successive approximation ADC with 16-bit resolution, supporting 16 single-ended analog input channels or 8 software-selectable differential analog input channels, with a maximum sampling rate of 100 kS/s. It is equipped with 2 analog output channels, 8 bidirectional TTL digital I/O lines and two independent 24-bit counter-timer channels. The analog input supports multiple programmable voltage ranges, and it delivers excellent common-mode rejection ratio to suppress ground loop noise and electromagnetic interference in complex industrial wiring environments, which makes it suitable for capturing low-level sensor signals with high accuracy. The analog bandwidth reaches 255 kHz, and the crosstalk between channels is well controlled to guarantee clean signal acquisition.

This DAQ card uses a 68-pin SCSI connector for all signal wiring, compatible with shielded cables, SCC and SCXI signal conditioning accessories for isolated, high-voltage and remote sensor measurement. It supports software trigger and external hardware trigger for analog scanning, and the RTSI synchronization bus enables clock and trigger sharing with other NI DAQ, digitizer and DSA hardware to build multi-board synchronized test systems. The dual 24-bit counter channels can perform pulse counting, frequency measurement, period capture and incremental encoder signal monitoring. The analog output channels can generate stable DC voltage and slow analog excitation signals, cooperating with analog input channels to complete sensor calibration, frequency response inspection and closed-loop testing. Digital I/O lines can read external status signals and drive low-power TTL circuits for interlock control and status indication. The standard PCI form factor fits ordinary industrial PC chassis and uses bus-powered design without extra external power supply. It supports DMA data transmission to reduce CPU load during continuous data logging, and built-in self-calibration function compensates gain and offset drift to maintain stable measurement accuracy during long-time running tests.

This multifunction daq card is widely used in laboratory precision measurement, electronic component characterization, small batch manufacturing test stations, strain and pressure sensor calibration, environmental parameter logging, OEM high-precision measurement equipment integration and aerospace component validation. It supports both traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx drivers, compatible with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI and C/C++ programming environments, so engineers can quickly develop integrated acquisition and control programs. As a discontinued legacy E-series DAQ hardware, the PCI-6030E is mainly used for maintenance and spare replacement of existing high-precision measurement platforms. It can maintain stable synchronous analog input and output performance, retain mature test workflows and avoid the high cost of rebuilding the whole measurement system. Its operating temperature range is 0°C to 55°C, supporting reliable continuous operation in laboratory and light industrial environments.
