The NI PCI-6024E is a multifunction DAQ board for PCI bus systems delivering analog input and output, digital I/O, and counter/timer functionality for test, measurement, and automation applications. The 12-bit device acquires up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog channels at 200 kS/s and outputs 2 analog channels at 10 kS/s. Two 24-bit counters support PWM generation with a 20 MHz timebase. An 8-line TTL/CMOS digital I/O port, RTSI synchronization, and dual triggering modes enable multi-function coordination. Compatible with LabVIEW, C/C++, Python, and legacy NI-DAQ drivers across Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X platforms.
