Overview
Current Output Channels (NI 6704 only)
NI 670x devices are software-timed voltage and current output
devices for PCI and PXI. With NI 6704 devices, you get 16 voltage
outputs and 16 current outputs that you can use at the same time
independently, as well as eight digital I/O (DIO) lines. You can
independently set each output from ±10 V or 0 to 20 mA. The NI 6703
delivers 16 voltage outputs in addition to eight DIO lines.
All 16 current outputs are identical. You can set each channel to
source current from 0 to 20 mA – it does not sink current.
The channels source current without requiring an external excitation
source. Each output is accurate to ±2 µA.
Hardware
Voltage Output Channels
All 16 voltage outputs on the NI 6703 and NI 6704 are identical.
You can set each channel for a bipolar voltage output of ±10 V.
Each output is accurate to ±1 mV.
I/O Connector
The analog outputs are available at a 68-pin SCSI II shielded
connector. VCH<0..15> are the voltage output channels.
ICH<16..31> are the current output channels. Each channel is
referenced to a ground line, AO GND<0...31>, which is shared
between a voltage and current channel. A fused 5 VDC power signal
from the PCI or PXI bus is available at the I/O connector as well.
