    Chapter 3 Hardware Overview Analog Input The AI section of the NI 6013/6014 is software configurable. The following sections describe in detail each AI setting. Input Mode The NI 6013/6014 has two input modes—nonreferenced single-ended (NRSE) mode and differential (DIFF) mode. NRSE mode provides up to 16 channels.

  • Page 23: Input Range

    Input Range The NI 6013/6014 has a bipolar input range that changes with the programmed gain. Each channel may be programmed with a unique gain of 0.5, 1.0, 10, or 100 to maximize the A/D converter (ADC) resolution. With the proper gain setting, you can use the full resolution of the ADC to measure the input signal.

  • Page 24: Analog Output

    Digital I/O The NI 6013/6014 contains eight lines of digital I/O (DIO<0..7>) for general-purpose use. You can individually software-configure each line for either input or output. At system startup and reset, the DIO ports are all high-impedance.

    The tolerance on the 50 kΩ pull-up resistors is very large. Actual value may range between 17 and 100 kΩ. Analog Input Signal Overview The AI signals for the NI 6013/6014 are ACH<0..15>, AISENSE, and AIGND. Connection of these AI signals to the device depends on the type of input signal source and the configuration of the AI channels you are using.

  • Page 33: Types Of Signal Sources

    An instrument or device that has an isolated output is a floating signal source. You must tie the ground reference of a floating signal to the NI 6013/6014 AIGND to establish a local or onboard reference for the signal. Otherwise, the measured input signal varies as the source floats outside the common-mode input range.

  • Page 40: Single-Ended Connection Considerations

    Single-Ended Connection Considerations A single-ended connection is one in which the AI signal of the NI 6013/6014 is referenced to a common ground that can be shared with other input signals. The input signal is tied to the positive input of the PGIA, and the common ground is tied to the negative input of the PGIA using AISENSE.

  • Page 41: Single-Ended Connections For Floating Signal Sources

    Sources To measure a grounded signal source with a single-ended configuration, you must configure the NI 6013/6014 in NRSE input mode. The signal is then connected to the positive input of the PGIA, and the signal local ground reference is connected to the negative input of the PGIA.

    NI-DAQ includes calibration functions for performing all of the steps in the calibration process. Calibration refers to the process of minimizing measurement and output voltage errors by making small circuit adjustments.

    It is better to self-calibrate when the device is installed in the environment in which it is used. Self-Calibration The NI 6013/6014 can measure and correct for almost all of its calibration-related errors without any external signal connections. NI-DAQ provides a self-calibration method. This self-calibration process, which generally takes less than two minutes, is the preferred method of assuring accuracy in your application.

  • Page 86 How can I use the STARTSCAN and CONVERT* signals on the NI 6013/6014 to sample the AI channel(s)? The NI 6013/6014 uses the STARTSCAN and CONVERT* signals to perform interval sampling. As Figure C-2 shows, STARTSCAN controls the scan interval, which is determined by the following equality:...
  • Page 87 What types of triggering can be hardware-implemented on the NI 6013/6014? Digital triggering is hardware-supported on the NI 6013/6014. I am using one of the general-purpose counter/timers on the device, but I do not see the counter/timer output on the I/O connector. Why? If you are using the NI-DAQ language interface or LabWindows/CVI, you must configure the output line to output the signal to the I/O connector.
