PCI-6024E 16-Channel Multifunction PCI DAQ Device
Земля NI PCI-6024E is an E Series multifunction data acquisition device designed for laboratory automation, research, design verification, manufacturing test and general-purpose voltage measurement. It combines analog input, analog output, digital I/O and counter/timer functions on one conventional PCI board.
The PCI-6024E provides 16 single-ended or eight differential analog inputs with 12-bit resolution and a maximum aggregate sampling rate of 200 kS/s. Two analog output channels can generate programmable control voltages and basic stimulus signals.
Eight digital I/O lines and two 24-bit counter/timers support fixture control, status monitoring, frequency measurement, event counting and pulse generation. Compatible SCC or SCXI signal conditioning can extend the board to sensor and higher-voltage measurements.

12-Bit Analog Acquisition
The PCI-6024E provides 16 single-ended inputs for maximum channel count or eight differential inputs for improved common-mode noise rejection. Programmable gain allows the input range to be matched to different voltage levels.
A 12-bit converter divides the selected full-scale range into 4,096 codes. For measurements requiring finer voltage resolution, a 16-bit device such as the PCI-6014 или PCI-6221 may be more appropriate.
200 kS/s Multiplexed Sampling
The board supports an aggregate analog input rate up to 200 kS/s. If ten channels are sampled at the same rate, each channel can operate at approximately 20 kS/s before considering settling and application constraints.
High source impedance can increase settling errors after the multiplexer changes channels. Lowering the scanning rate or adding an external buffer may improve accuracy.
Two Analog Outputs
Two analog outputs can generate DC setpoints, low-frequency waveforms and DUT stimulus. These outputs are intended for compatible low-current loads.
An external power amplifier or driver is required for motors, actuators, lamps, power relays and other loads that exceed the board’s output capability.
Digital I/O and Counter Functions
Eight digital lines can monitor logic states and control test-fixture functions. Two 24-bit counters support event counting, frequency measurement, pulse-width measurement and pulse generation.
SCC and SCXI Signal Conditioning
Compatible SCC or SCXI hardware can add amplification, filtering, isolation, excitation and sensor-specific conditioning. This allows the PCI-6024E to work with thermocouples, strain gauges and industrial signals that cannot be connected directly.
NI-DAQmx Integration
NI-DAQmx provides channel configuration, timing, triggering and data-transfer functions. Because the PCI-6024E is a legacy product, confirm driver and operating-system compatibility before migrating an existing system.

Laboratory Automation
The PCI-6024E can measure analog voltages, generate basic stimulus and monitor digital states from one software-controlled board.
Производственное тестирование
Analog inputs can verify DUT voltage levels while digital outputs control fixture functions and counters measure frequency or pulse signals.
Sensor Measurement
With suitable external conditioning, the PCI-6024E can acquire signals from temperature, force, pressure and displacement sensors.
PCI-6024E Installation Workflow
Step 1: Confirm the PCI Slot
Verify that the host computer contains an available conventional PCI slot.
Step 2: Check Software Compatibility
Confirm that the operating system and NI-DAQmx version support the PCI-6024E.
Step 3: Install the Board
Power down the computer, observe ESD precautions and secure the board in its PCI slot.
Step 4: Connect the Accessory
Install a compatible shielded 68-pin cable and terminal block using the PCI-6024E pinout.
Step 5: Test in NI MAX
Run the device self-test and verify analog input, analog output, digital and counter operation.
Step 6: Validate the Application
Confirm signal ranges, sample-rate allocation, grounding, output limits and trigger configuration.
PCI-6024E Troubleshooting
The PCI-6024E is not detected
Check PCI slot compatibility, board seating, BIOS resources and NI-DAQmx support.
The measured signal contains excessive noise
Use differential wiring, shielded cables and appropriate grounding. Keep analog signals away from high-current wiring.
The per-channel sampling rate is too low
The 200 kS/s aggregate rate is divided among the active analog input channels.
The analog output voltage decreases under load
The connected circuit may draw excessive current. Test the output with a high-impedance meter and add a buffer if required.
The counter reports false edges
Improve signal grounding and edge quality or use external Schmitt-trigger conditioning.
