Multifunctional I/O System with DAQ Capability, BNC, USB Based

This Multifunctional I/O System is a highly versatile, multi-purpose data acquisition and output system. It is commonly used for controlling QtracW Threshold Tracking Software and the DS4 and DS5 electrical bipolar stimulators from Digitimer.

It has data acquisition (DAQ) capabilities to record analog signals from 16 analog inputs. The sample rate of these analog inputs is 500kHz at an ADC resolution of 16bit and an input range of +/- 10V. It also features 2 analog outputs with similar specifications. The analog outputs have a DAC resolution of 16bits, 840kSamples/s per channel and a +/-10V output range.

Furthermore, the Multifunctional I/O System from NI features 24 digital I/O ports which can be configured as either input or output ports. These I/O ports are controlled through the USB interface of the device.

Analog input channels AI0-AI7, analog output channels AO0 and AO1, and digital I/O ports PI0-PI7 are easily accessed and controlled through 25 BNC female connectors. All remaining inputs and outputs are accessed through screw terminals.

Multifunctional I/O System is capable of PWM, encoder, frequency, event counting and much more. It is suited for various applications, from data logging to test automation. Researchers typically use it to control Digitimer's DS4 and DS5 electrical stimulators thanks to its compatibility with QtracW Threshold Tracking Software.
