Table 1. Low-Cost E Series Model Guide Overview and Applications National Instruments low-cost E Series multifunction data acquisition devices provide full functionality at a price to meet the needs of the budget-conscious user. They are ideal for applications ranging from continuous high-speed data logging to control applications to high-voltage signal or sensor measurements when used with NI signal conditioning. Synchronize the operations of multiple devices using the RTSI bus or PXI trigger bus to easily integrate other hardware such as motion control and machine vision to create an entire measurement and control system. Highly Accurate Hardware Design NI low-cost E Series DAQ devices include the following features and technologies: Temperature Drift Protection Circuitry – Designed with components that minimize the effect of temperature changes on measurements to less than 0.0010% of reading/°C. Resolution-Improvement Technologies – Carefully designed noise floor maximizes the resolution. Onboard Self-Calibration – Precise voltage reference included for calibration and measurement accuracy. Self-calibration is completely software controlled, with no potentiometers to adjust. NI DAQ-STC – Timing and control ASIC designed to provide more flexibility, lower power consumption, and a higher immunity to noise and jitter than off-the-shelf counter/timer chips. NI MITE – ASIC designed to optimize data transfer for multiple simultaneous operations using bus mastering with one DMA channel, interrupts, or programmed I/O. NI PGIA – Measurement and instrument class amplifier that guarantees settling times at all gains. Typical commercial off-the-shelf amplifier components do not meet the settling time requirements for high-gain measurement applications. PFI Lines – Eight programmable function input (PFI) lines that you can use for software-controlled routing of interboard and intraboard digital and timing signals. RTSI or PXI Trigger Bus – Bus used to share timing and control signals between two or more PCI or PXI devices to synchronize operations. RSE Mode – In addition to differential and nonreferenced single-ended modes, NI low-cost E Series devices offer the referenced single-ended (RSE) mode for use with floating-signal sources in applications with channel counts higher than eight. Onboard Temperature Sensor – Included for monitoring the operating temperature of the device to ensure that it is operating within the specified range.
