The NI PCI-6070E / PCI-MIO-16E-1 is a 12-bit multifunction DAQ board for PCI systems delivering 1.25 MS/s analog input sampling across 16 channels. Built on proven E-Series architecture, this card integrates analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and counter/timer functionality in a single PCI form factor. Software-selectable input ranges from ±0.05 V to ±10 V accommodate diverse signal conditioning requirements. The board supports both analog and digital triggering with programmable thresholds, enabling flexible acquisition control. Onboard self-calibration eliminates manual potentiometer tuning, ensuring measurement accuracy without external intervention. An integrated temperature sensor monitors operating conditions in real time.
