PCI 6010 or PCI 6014

[mekhatria]

Hi,

I have to read 12 analog input ( 0 <-> 5volt) in  5ms.

1) do i have purchase 6010 or 6014 ?

2) which driver should i download ? Labwindows CVI 6, windows 2000

thank you

Hi,

Both the the cards will match your measurement requirements.

PCI 6010 is cheaper that PCI 6014, so it depends on your budget.

If you do plan to go for 6014, I would then suggest you to go for an Mseries card instead, which has better features 

Regarding Driver, in all probability you will get a CD of the latest/supported version Device Driver along with the card that you purchase.

thank you devchander
but some thing bother me : 16 analog inputs at up to 200 kS/s, what does realy mean ?if i have 12 analog to read , how can i manage the time to read ?

thank u again

It means Max Possible sampling rate by the card's ADC= 200k samples /sec

While scanning  12 channels, that would be approx = 200kS/ sec  divided by 12 = 1.7 K samples per sec. ( Because all analog input channels share a common ADC)

You need to read once from all 12 channels in an interval of 5 milli sec right??

For that, your required sampling rate would be 2.4 K samples /sec or greater.( 12 samples in 5 milli sec= 2400 samples in 1 sec)

ok,

why i gave u all these questions, cause i have used DIO96 befor (to control a multiplexer), and it was a disaster, the DIO's output signal is controled by the PC, and under 15ms the signal become unpredictability, and i don't like the same thing happened with PCI 6010, so if PCI 6010 works independently , and puts the data in buffer, i have juste to get these informations with my CVI programme, it will be great  ????

thanks again
