Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PCI-6040E integrates measurement, voltage output, digital I/O, and timing functions on a PCI card. NI documents its use in laboratory automation, research, design verification, and manufacturing test.

Legacy NI software documentation lists the card under PCI-MIO-16E-4 (PCI-6040E). Use both identifiers when checking older system documentation and driver support; single-channel and multichannel acquisition have different maximum sampling rates.

Analog acquisition and two analog output channels on one PCI device.
Eight digital I/O lines for digital signal interfacing.
Two 24-bit counters/timers.
Software-selectable bipolar and unipolar analog input ranges.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is PCI-MIO-16E-4 another name for PCI-6040E?

Yes. NI's driver documentation explicitly lists PCI-MIO-16E-4 as PCI-6040E.

Does the 500 kS/s maximum apply to multichannel acquisition?

No. NI specifies 500 kS/s for single-channel acquisition and 250 kS/s for multichannel scanning, not 500 kS/s per channel.

Which manufacturer part number is associated with this model?

NI lists 777383-01 with the description NI PCI-6040E Multifunction I/O and NI-DAQ.

Is historical NI-DAQmx support documented?

Yes. NI-DAQmx 8.3 documentation lists PCI-MIO-16E-4 (PCI-6040E). This historical listing does not establish compatibility with other driver releases or operating systems.
