NI 653X Overview

© National Instruments Corporation
The NI 653X User Manual describes installing, configuring, setting up,
and programming applications for the NI 653X family of digital I/O (DIO)
devices. The NI 653X family includes the NI AT-DIO-32HS,
NI DAQCard-6533 for PCMCIA, NI PCI-6534, NI PCI-DIO-32HS,
NI PXI-6533, NI PXI-6534, and NI PCI/PXI-7030/6533.
With NI 653X devices, you can use your computer or chassis as a
digital I/O tester, logic analyzer, or system controller for laboratory testing,
production testing, and industrial process monitoring and control.
Each NI 653X provides 32 digital data lines that are individually
configurable as input or output, grouped into four 8-bit ports. Each line can
sink or source 24 mA of current.
The NI 6534 contains onboard memory, enabling you to transfer data
to/from this memory at a guaranteed rate. This memory removes the
dependency on the host computer bus for applications that require
guaranteed transfer rates.
The NI PCI/PXI-7030/6533 is an RT Series device that contains a
processor board (NI 7030), an NI 6533 daughter board, and an independent
processor that runs LabVIEW Real-Time applications. The NI 6533
daughter board contains all the features and functions of the
NI PCI/PXI-6533 described in this manual. For more information about
your NI PCI/PXI-7030/6533, refer to the RT Series DAQ Device User
Manual.
The NI 6534 uses the Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus to easily
synchronize several measurement devices to a common trigger or timing
event. The RTSI bus allows synchronization of the measurements. The
RTSI bus consists of the RTSI bus interface and a ribbon cable to route
timing and trigger signals between as many as five DAQ devices in the
1-1
