Key Features
High Resolution, High Accuracy Analog Measurements
NI Multifunction I/O Devices have analog signal paths that have been meticulously designed, tested, and calibrated to ensure the highest possible accuracy is achieved across all input channels. Because of this thorough design-and-test  philosophy, NI is able to provide thoroughly documented accuracy specifications to allow a complete understanding of device performance under a range of possible operating conditions. The specifications documentation for each device  provides a section dedicated to understanding the calculation of AI absolute accuracy, alongside a wealth of other performance details.
Advanced Timing Technology
All multifunction data acquisition hardware requires onboard timing circuitry to control analog, digital, and counter I/O lines. Much of the Multifunction I/O Device family features the NI-STC3 chipset to provide up to four enhanced counters, a 100 MHz time base, and additional options for I/O timing and triggering. NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS Multifunction I O Device - Timing
Technology

Figure 1. Modern NI DAQ devices feature NI-STC3 timing and synchronization technology – a USB Multifunction I/O Device is shown here as an example.

100 MHz Time base
The onboard time base of any data acquisition device acts as the internal heartbeat that drives all digital circuitry. Everything from sample clocks to trigger lines uses the time base as an onboard reference to generate clock frequencies and  latch digital edges. Modern devices use a 100 MHz time base for all analog and digital timing, which is up to five times faster than their predecessors. This means that sampling frequencies are up to five times more accurate, and analog  triggers can respond within 10 ns of a trigger condition being met.
Independent Timing Engines for Analog and Digital I/O
Advanced timing and triggering functionality on data acquisition devices has often relied on onboard counters and complex signal routing to achieve specialized hardware-timed performance. NI’s multifunction I/O technology offers  completely independent sample clocks and triggers for each different group of I/O on a multifunction device. Retrigger able acquisitions, for example, involve waiting for a trigger condition to be met, taking a finite number of samples,  and then immediately rearming the trigger for the next acquisition. Using driver software function calls to rearm the trigger risks missing the next trigger due to software latency; therefore, the best possible performance requires a  hardware-timed approach. In the past, counters were the only way to implement hardware-timed retriggering, and so counters would be used to generate a retrigger able pulse train, which was then internally routed to act as the analog input sample clock. Devices with advanced timing capabilities can perform this type of action natively, which greatly simplifies the hardware programming and measurement configuration process.
Self-Calibration and Two-Year Guaranteed Specifications
Self-calibration provides the ability to characterize nonlinearity, gain, and offset errors in Multifunction I/O Devices. These changes are caused by deviations in the operating environment as well as manufacturing variations in the  integrated circuitry that may have shifted since the last external calibration. Supported devices use an integrated self-calibration algorithm called NI-McCall to characterize and save the correction polynomials to an onboard EEPROM, and  does so in a matter of seconds. This allows subsequent measurements to be scaled automatically by the device driver software before being returned to the user through application software. NI-McCall has the unique ability to return  calibrated data from every channel in a scan, even if they are at different input ranges. This means a device can easily load and apply channel-specific correction functions even while scanning at maximum device rates without impacting performance.

NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS Multifunction I O Device -
Calibration

By eliminating the limitations of hardware components traditionally used for device error correction and using the power and speed of software and PC processing, NI-M Cal raises the bar for measurement accuracy by redefining device  self-calibration. Most Multifunction I/O Device models have a two-year external calibration cycle thanks to the self-calibration precision circuitry that minimizes the maintenance burden of deployed systems, while also maintaining tight  measurement tolerances. Visit ni.com to learn more about NI’s calibration services.

NI-DAQmx Application Programming Interface (API)
The NI-DAQmx driver includes a best-in-class API that works directly with a variety of development options including LabVIEW, DAQExpress, C, C#, Python, and others. The native integration provides exceptional performance and a  seamless experience without the need for manual wrapping of functions. To ensure long-term interoperability of DAQ devices, the NI-DAQmx driver API is the same API used for all NI DAQ products – meaning re-development efforts  can be minimized regardless of hardware changes or upgrades. Additionally, the driver provides access to help files, documentation, and dozens of ready-Torun shipping examples you can use as a starting point for your application.NATIONAL

PXI builds on its CompactPCI architecture base by adding integrated timing and synchronization that is used to route synchronization clocks and triggers internally. A PXI chassis incorporates a dedicated 10 MHz system reference clock, PXI trigger bus,  star trigger bus, and slot-to-slot local bus, while a PXI Express chassis adds a 100 MHz differential system clock, differential signaling, and differential star triggers to address the need for advanced timing and synchronization.
