Can I find the part numbers for the output drivers on the PCI-6534 Card?

We are planning to use an NI-6534 card to test very sensitive hardware. The DAQ will simulate the interface to which this particular piece of hardware will be connected.

Our concern is that there is some way that we can damage our hardware during test.

The best way to insure that this is not a concern would be to say that the DAQ interfaces to our hardware in the exact same way as our real interface. This of course is not likely, so we need to understand the differences. To do this I think we need to compare the I/O spec of the devices directly connected to our hardware under test on both the DAQ and our interface.

Of course we need to know the part number of the NI I/O output drivers.


The kind of data I think we are interested in is:

Voh, Vol, Ioh, Iol, and transition times...

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi goldbach,

The voltage and current specs can be found in the user manual for the board.

I will look into getting the rise/fall times of the signal. Have a good day.

Hi goldbach,

The other specification you were looking for, slew rate, is typically between 2.75 and 4.5 ns depending on your load. The following knowledge base discusses briefly on this point.

Hope that helps. Have a good day.
