National Instruments PXIe-6358 PXI Multifunction I/O Module

The PXIe-6358 (Part Number: 781054-01) is an advanced Multifunction I/O Module from National Instruments. This module comes with 16 differential analog input channels at the input. The NI PXIe-6358 also incorporates ADC, which has a resolution of 16 bits. The instrument offers the sample rate of 1.25 MS/s per channel. The value for CMRR is 75 dB. The value for total harmonic distortion is -80 dBFS. The instrument also offers a timing accuracy of 50 ppm of the sample rate. It has a power requirement of 7.8 W at +3.3 V and 22.2 W at +12 V.

The PXIe-6358 Multifunction I/O Module offers analog triggers. The instrument offers various functions to enable trigger procedures, including start, reference, and pause triggers. This module also includes sample clock and sample time clock time base trigger mechanisms. The resolution offered for the triggering schemes is 16 bits. A trigger mechanism is also offered along with the different modes of operations, which includes the following: analog edge triggering, analog edge triggering with hysteresis, and window triggering. The NI PXIe-6358 module additionally has an input DC coupling mechanism. The value for the input impedance of the device is 10 kilo-ohms. The device is equipped with 2 68-pin VHDCI I/O connectors. It has a recommended calibration warm-up time of 15 minutes and should be calibrated at least once every 2 years.

The PXIe-6358 provides four analog channels at the output, which have a DAC resolution of 16 bits. Their monotonicity is guaranteed to be 16 bits. The value for the maximum update rate for each channel is 3.3 MS per second. These channels also implement a DC coupling scheme at the output, and have a timing accuracy of 50 ppm of sample rate and a timing resolution of 10 ns. The full-scale step time for the output channels is two microseconds. The National Instruments PXIe-6358 Multifunction I/O Module has the slew rate of 20 volts per microseconds. The standard 3U PXI device weighs 8.5 oz. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 55 ºC, and a storage temperature range of -40 to 70 ºC.
