PXIe-6738

The PXIe‑6738 is a high-density analog output module. The device is ideal for applications such as stimulus-response tests and open-loop simulations at high densities. You can achieve the maximum sample rate if using up to eight channels, where each channel is on a separate bank. The PXIe‑6738 also includes 10 digital I/O lines, four counter/timers, digital triggering, and advanced timing to meet a wide range of application requirements. Its digital triggering and PXI Express synchronization capabilities allow it to be coupled with additional data acquisition, motion, and vision products to create highly custom measurement solutions to test innovative designs.
