Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PC-DIO-96 provides a 96-bit parallel digital I/O interface on an ISA board. NI identifies it separately from the PCI-DIO-96; the two model names should not be treated as interchangeable.

System integration requires attention to legacy software and hardware resources. NI documents manual installation for this non-plug-and-play board, and its NI-DAQmx 7.5 readme places the PC-DIO-96 among devices supported only by Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

What interface does the PC-DIO-96 use?

The PC-DIO-96 uses the ISA bus and provides a 96-bit parallel digital I/O interface.

Is the PC-DIO-96 a plug-and-play device?

No. NI identifies it as a legacy non-plug-and-play ISA board. Its archived installation guidance calls for checking board jumper settings and manually configuring hardware resources.

Does NI-DAQmx 7.5 support the PC-DIO-96?

No. The NI-DAQmx 7.5 readme lists the PC-DIO-96 among devices supported only by Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy). This historical listing does not establish compatibility with current operating systems.
