Channel, Speed, and Resolution Specifications Overview and Applications National Instruments 6143 devices combine the latest in PC technologies to deliver simultaneous sampling for high-channelcount applications at a low cost. Use these devices in a variety of applications, including: • High-energy physics • Ultrasonic and sonar testing • Ballistics and highly transient signals • Multiaxis control Better Dynamic Specifications – Because each channel has a dedicated ADC, there is less concern with settling time and the noise and error caused by switching input channels. You can tune the analog input path for both accurate DC and dynamic measurements. Traditional data acquisition devices are ideal for DC measurements, but are not always the best solution for dynamic measurements. Low-Cost – The decrease in price of ADCs over time has made a dedicated ADC per channel architecture cost-effective. Features These devices fall into the NI S Series product family. The S stands for simultaneous sampling, the most evident benefit of the dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel architecture. However, the architecture has a few less obvious but very important advantages. Dedicated ADCs per Channel – This architecture offers a much higher sampling rate per channel. Traditional data acquisition devices share the sampling rate among the number of active channels. The overall data throughput stays the same. With S Series devices, the aggregate throughput increases with the number of active channels.

When coupled together with LabVIEW Real-Time, these devices are capable of deterministic performance at speeds exceeding 20 kHz for eight parallel PID loops. This control system architecture effectively meets today’s demands but also grows with future requirements. As your control algorithms change, you can implement simple to advanced control strategies in LabVIEW RealTime without breaking the connection to your I/O. Furthermore, as your system I/O requirements change, simply add more I/O to the existing system without significantly modifying your control code. NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit This toolkit includes all of the analysis and presentation tools to convert your S Series device into a full-featured spectrum analyzer. The toolkit includes: • Measurements such as in-band power and adjacent-channel power • 3D spectrogram • Analog modulation and demodulation • I-Q data for digital demodulation • Highly optimized FFT processing Professional Analysis and Presentation Toolkits There are several analysis and presentation add-on toolkits available from National Instruments that help make you more productive when developing custom applications with your S Series devices. Turn your S Series device into a transient recorder, spectrum analyzer, or one of several other instruments with these toolkits. NI LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit This toolkit includes a full set of frequency-domain analysis and presentation tools required for sound and vibration applications. These tools include: • Distortion, gain, phase, cross-talk, and dynamic range measurements • Octave analysis • Swept-sine analysis • Linear, exponential and peak hold measurements • Baseband and zoom FFT, power, FFT, power spectral density (PSD) • Limit testing • Short-time Fourier transform and shock response spectrum • Weighting filters • System calibration • Waterfall/colormap display Figure 1. Sound and Vibration Toolkit High-Performance Data Throughput Using NI-DAQmx driver software and S Series, you can take full advantage of your PC’s throughput potential, which is useful in many applications including transient recording. Flexible Data Transfer With NI-DAQmx, you can choose where to accumulate data – on the onboard memory, PC RAM memory, or PC hard drive memory. Thus, you can balance your PC application requirements and stream-to-disk/memory capabilities. In any case, NI-DAQmx optimizes data transfers by using DMA (direct memory access) and transferring large chunks of data, while ensuring no data loss. You can also choose the format of your data, further optimizing throughput. Choices include raw (binary), scaled, or the high-level waveform data type. Using these techniques, you can achieve rates of more than 40 MS/s sustained over the PCI/PXI bus to hard drive (depending on the PC). NI LabVIEW Signal Processing Toolkit This toolkit is a suite of software tools, example programs, and utilities for time-frequency analysis and digital filter design. The toolkit includes: • Wavelet and filter-bank design • Digital filter design of FIR and IIR filters • Joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) with the Gabor spectrograph • High-frequency resolution model-based spectral estimation for small datasets 2 National Instruments • Tel: (800) 813 3693 • info@ni.com • ni.com S Series Multifunction DAQ 16-Bit, 250 kS/s/Channel, 8 Analog Inputs Data Compaction With the release of NI-DAQmx 7.4 or later, data compaction is available for stream-to-disk applications. The NI-DAQmx compaction feature strips unused or unwanted bits of data from each sample taken from your S Series device before it is permanently recorded to hard disk. This is helpful because hard drives are typically the throughput bottleneck compared to the PCI/PXI bus and PC RAM memory read/write speed. Using data compression, users with standard hard drives can see up to 20 percent higher throughput when streaming-to-disk. Cleaner Code Development – Basic and advanced software functions have been combined into one easy-to-use yet powerful set to help you build cleaner code and move from basic to advanced applications without replacing functions. High-Performance Driver Engine – NI-DAQ delivers maximum I/O system throughput with a multithreaded driver. Test Panels – With the Measurement & Automation Explorer configuration utility, you can test all of your device functionality before you begin development. Scaled Channels – Easily scale your voltage data into the proper engineering units using the NI-DAQ Measurement Ready virtual channels by choosing from a list of common sensors and signals or creating your own custom scale. Data-Logging Software – VI Logger Lite is configuration-based software designed specifically for data logging. Features include easy logging and viewing of data, data extraction to Microsoft Excel, and code generation in LabVIEW. LabVIEW Integration – All NI-DAQ functions create the waveform data type, which carries acquired data and timing information directly into more than 400 LabVIEW built-in analysis routines for display of results in engineering units on a graph. Signal Conditioning With the release of NI-DAQmx 7.4 or later, all S Series devices are compatible with parallel-mode SCXI modules. Model SCXI-1520 SCXI-1125 SCXI-1141/2/3 Description Universal Strain Gage Input Isolation Amplifier 8-Pole Lowpass Filters Channels 8 8 8 Table 2. Most Popular Parallel-Mode SCXI Modules SCXI is limited to 100 kS/s for 16-bit accuracy and 333 kS/s for 12-bit accuracy when used in multiplexed mode. However, in parallel mode, the sample rate is limited by the maximum scan rate of the data acquisition device. When SCXI is used in parallel mode with S Series, all channels are simultaneously sampled and the sample rate is limited by the S Series device, from 250 kS/s per channel to 10 MS/s per channel. Measurement Services Software National Instruments measurement services software, built around NI-DAQmx driver software, includes intuitive application programming interfaces, configuration tools, I/O assistants, and other tools designed to reduce system setup, configuration, and development time. This software is included with your data acquisition purchase. Helpful features include: Automatic Code Generation – DAQ Assistant is an interactive guide that helps you navigate through configuring, testing, and programming measurement tasks and generates the necessary code automatically for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio. NI-DAQmx Base Driver NI-DAQmx Base (available at ni.com/downloads) offers Mac OS X and Linux users a programming interface similar to NI-DAQmx. It includes ready-to-use LabVIEW VIs and C function features similar to those included in NI-DAQmx driver software.
