16-way AI (500 kS/s), 2-way AO, 8-way DIO, PCI Multi-function I/O device - The PCI-6040 offers analog I/O, digital I/O, and two 24-bit counters/timers. The device provides affordable and reliable data acquisition for a variety of applications ranging from laboratory automation, research, design validation/testing to manufacturing testing. SCC or SCXI signal conditioning modules can be used to add sensors and high voltage measurement capabilities to the device. The included NI-DAQmx driver and configuration utility simplify configuration and measurement.
The PCI-6040 is a discontinued Data acquisition (DAQ) device from National Instruments (NI). It is a versatile board designed for analog and digital signal input and output. Here is a breakdown of its main features and some considerations when using it:
Main features:

Channels: 16 single-ended channels or 8 differential channels
Maximum sampling rate: 500 kS/s per channel (250 kS/s in single-ended mode)
Resolution: 12 bits
Input range: Choose from multiple voltage ranges
Analog output:
Number of channels: 2
Resolution: 12 bits
Update rate: up to 1.25 kS/s
Digital I/O:

Counter/Timer:
Two 24-bit counters/timers
The National Instruments PCI-6040E comes with SCANCLK, which is an output signal that produces A pulse around 50 to 100 ns along the main edge after the A/D conversion has begun. The end of this output is programmatically optional, but the general goal of the arrangement is that the drive edge from low to high can show information outside the simple input multiplexer when the signal is checked and can be evacuated. The signal has a beat width of 400 to 500 ns and programming authorization. EXTSTROBE, on the other hand, is an output signal that produces a single pulse or an array of eight pulses in device stroboscopic mode. External gadgets can use this signal to hook a signal or trigger an event. In single beat mode, the level of the EXTSTROBE signal is programmed. The 10 μs and 1.2 μs clocks can be used to generate a set of 8 pulses in device gating mode. The device is equipped with a 68-pin male type 0.050D I/O connector.
The NI PCI 6040E multifunctional DAQ offers two 12-bit simple outputs, eight digital I/ O lines, two 24-bit counters/clocks, and more. Real-time execution using a dedicated 700 MHz Pentium III natively available processor, 32 MB DRAM for client feature programs and 32 MB natively available CompactFlash, And a maximum single PID circle rate of 26 kHz. The NI device weighs 4.1 ounces and measures 6.9 x 4.2 inches. In the physical dimension.
