General Description
The PCI-DAS6013 from Measurement Computing is a very low cost 16-bit analog I/O that plugs into any PCI slot in your computer. Combined with your software, it turns a personal computer into a complete measurement system that may be used to automate a wide assortment of experiments and tests. The low cost of the PCI-DAS6013 makes it an ideal choice in educational/teaching applications as well as any other application where price is a key concern.

Measurements of up to 16 channels at a resolution of 16 bits, (one part in 65,536) on one of 4 ranges may be taken at rates up to 200,000 samples per second. Discrete digital bi-directional I/O lines (8) can control relays and solenoids, and monitor switch and contact closures.

Software for professional developers, occupational developers and non-programming measurement professionals completes your system. Choose from several powerful options described below, or choose several and use the one suitable to each task.

Software
InstaCal: Installation, Calibration and Test software in one package simplifies these important steps as you turn your PC into a measurement system. Installation detects new hardware and configures your computer and board. Calibration software automates this critical step and keeps your measurements accurate. Test routines verify that all the board's features are operating, and will speed you to a quick resolution. If you need to, call our free technical support. Included free with every board.

Universal Library: Programming libraries for Windows Visual Studio programming languages, and others. A complete function library to simplify the configuration and operation of your measurement board. A single, universal set of functions operates all our products so you only have to learn to use our library once.

SoftWIRE: Graphical programming system for Windows Visual Studio .NET and Visual Basic 6 allows you to create programs without having to learn a programming language. Completely Visual Studio, 100% Microsoft standard compliant, projects can be graphical only, graphical plus code, and graphical plus code plus any other Visual Studio library, DLL, ActiveX control or .NET component or control. SoftWIRE for Visual Studio .NET includes a developer's kit so you can create your own SoftWIRE controls.

DAS-Wizard: Data acquisition direct to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Watch your spreadsheet update with real measurements, make calculations, chart results, and all with no programming required. Simply use menus to select the measurements and methods, then watch it go.

Universal Library for LabVIEW: Library, VIs and program examples for LabVIEW. A comprehensive library of graphical functions comprising all the power of our Universal Library and InstaCal software. Many examples to get you started using LabVIEW while saving money with Measurement Computing instrument boards.

Analog Input Accuracy
200 kS/s sampling rate, single channel operation and a 15-minute warm-up. Accuracies listed are for measurements made following an internal calibration. They are valid for operational temperatures within ±1°C of internal calibration temperature and ±10°C of factory calibration temperature. Calibrator test source high side tied to Channel 0 High and low side tied to Channel 0 Low. Low-level ground is tied to Channel 0 Low at the user connector. Table 1 - Absolute Accuracy
