Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-6040E combines analog acquisition, analog output, digital I/O and counter/timer functions in a PXI module. NI identifies laboratory automation, research, design verification and manufacturing test as applications for this product.

When planning acquisition, distinguish the 500 kS/s single-channel limit from the 250 kS/s multichannel scanning limit. The single-channel maximum should not be treated as a per-channel multichannel rate.

Software-selectable single-ended or differential analog inputs.
Two analog output channels complement analog acquisition.
Eight digital I/O lines and two counters/timers.
Analog and digital triggering with PXI trigger-bus support.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Does the PXI-6040E sample every channel at 500 kS/s?

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

Why does NI's product page use the name PXI-6040?

NI's PXI-6040 page identifies part number 777484-01 as NI PXI-6040E and NI-DAQ. The catalog retains the PXI-6040E model designation used in NI's specifications and driver documentation.
