Overview and Applications
National Instruments S Series devices combine the latest in PC
technologies to deliver simultaneous-sampling, high-bandwidth
capabilities for low and high-channel-count data acquisition and control
systems. Use S Series devices in a variety of applications including:
• Stimulus/response applications where synchronization among high-
speed analog input (AI), analog output (AO), and digital I/O is required
• 42 V automotive applications
• Radar, sonar, ultrasound
• Transient/ballistics measurements
• High-energy physics
• IF digitization
Features
The NI high-performance S Series DAQ devices have the same
basic features of a typical multifunction device – eight digital I/O lines,
two counter/timers, two analog outputs, RTSI or PXI trigger bus for
multidevice synchronization, and PFI lines for software-controlled routing
of timing and triggering signals. S Series devices exceed the analog input
performance of traditional multiplexed devices with features including:
