Table 1. Channel, Speed, and Resolution Specifications
Overview and Applications
National Instruments 612x and 613x devices combine the latest in
PC technologies to deliver simultaneous sampling for high-channel-
count, high-speed applications. Use these modules in a variety of
applications, including:
• IF digitization
• Transient recording
• ISDN, ADSL, and POTS manufacturing test in the telecom industry
• Ultrasound and sonar testing
• High-energy physics
constant, regardless of the number of active channels. S Series
aggregate data throughput increases linearly with the number of
active channels.
Better Dynamic Specifications
– The analog input path on S Series
devices is tuned for both accurate DC and dynamic measurements,
compared to traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices that
suffer from settling time and distortion error created by switching
the input channel. Traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices
are ideal for DC measurements, but are not the best solution for
dynamic measurements.
Many Input Ranges
– You can configure each analog input channel to
use one of several voltage ranges. Make the most of your input
resolution by selecting among the four voltage ranges offered by the
NI 612x and 613x devices.
Large Onboard Memory
– NI 6123 and NI 6133 devices feature a 16 or
32 MS onboard memory while the NI 6122 and NI 6132 devices
feature a 16 MS memory. With deep onboard memory, capture high-
bandwidth signals over long periods of time, regardless of
bus limitations.
Features
These devices fall under the NI S Series product family. The “S”
stands for simultaneous sampling, as this is the most apparent
benefit of the dedicated analog-to-digital (A/D) converter per
channel architecture. However, the architecture has other less
obvious but very important advantages.
More Data Throughput
– The dedicated A/D converter per channel
architecture provides a much higher aggregate sampling rate
compared to traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices.
Traditional multiplexed data acquisition devices share one A/D converter
among multiple channels, keeping the aggregate data throughput

up to 3 MS/s per Channel, up to 8 Analog Inputs
Professional Analysis and
Presentation Toolkits
There are several analysis and presentation add-on toolkits available
from National Instruments that help make you more productive
when developing custom applications with your S Series devices.
Turn your S Series device into a transient recorder, spectrum
analyzer, or one of several other instruments with these toolkits.
NI LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit
This toolkit includes a full set of frequency-domain analysis and
presentation tools required for sound and vibration applications.
These tools include:
• Distortion, gain, phase, cross-talk, and dynamic range measurements
• Octave analysis
• Swept-sine analysis
• Linear, exponential, and peak hold measurements
• Baseband and zoom FFT, power, FFT, power spectral density (PSD)
• Limit testing
• Short-time Fourier transform and shock response spectrum
• Weighting filters
• System calibration
• Waterfall/colormap display

High-Performance Data Throughput
Using NI-DAQmx driver software and S Series, you can take full
advantage of your PC’s throughput potential, which is useful in many
applications including transient recording.
Flexible Data Transfer
NI LabVIEW Signal Processing Toolkit
This toolkit is a suite of software tools, example programs, and
utilities for time-frequency analysis and digital filter design. The
toolkit includes:
• Wavelet and filter-bank design
• Digital filter design of FIR and IIR filters
• Joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) with the Gabor spectrograph
• High-frequency resolution model-based spectral estimation for
small datasets
With NI-DAQmx, you can choose where to accumulate data – on the
onboard memory, PC RAM memory, or PC hard drive memory.
Thus, you can balance your PC application requirements and
stream-to-disk/memory capabilities. In any case, NI-DAQmx
optimizes data transfers by using DMA (direct memory access) and
transferring large chunks of data, while ensuring no data loss. You
can also choose the format of your data, further optimizing
throughput. Choices include raw (binary), scaled, or the high-level
waveform data type. Using these techniques, you can achieve rates of
more than 40 MS/s sustained over the PCI/PXI bus to hard drive
(depending on the PC).
NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit
This toolkit includes all of the analysis and presentation tools to
convert your S Series device into a full-featured spectrum analyzer.
The toolkit includes:
• Measurements such as in-band power and adjacent-channel power
• 3D spectrogram
• Analog modulation and demodulation
• I-Q data for digital demodulation
• Highly optimized FFT processing

S Series Multifunction DAQ – up to 16-Bit,
up to 3 MS/s per Channel, up to 8 Analog Inputs
Data Compaction
With the release of NI-DAQmx 7.4 or later, data compaction is
available for stream-to-disk applications. The NI-DAQmx
compaction feature strips unused or unwanted bits of data from
each sample taken from your S Series device before it is permanently
recorded to hard disk. This is helpful because hard drives are
typically the throughput bottleneck compared to the PCI/PXI bus
and PC RAM memory read/write speed. Using data compression,
users with standard hard drives can see up to 20 percent higher
throughput when streaming-to-disk.
High-Performance Driver Engine
– NI-DAQmx delivers maximum
I/O system throughput with a multithreaded driver.
Test Panels
– With the Measurement & Automation Explorer
configuration utility, you can test all of your module functionality
before you begin development.
Scaled Channels
– Easily scale your voltage data into the proper
engineering units using the NI-DAQmx Measurement Ready virtual
channels by choosing from a list of common sensors and signals or
creating your own custom scale.
Data-Logging Software –
VI Logger Lite is configuration-based
software designed specifically for data logging. Features include
easy logging and viewing of data, data extraction to Microsoft
Excel, and code generation in LabVIEW.
LabVIEW Integration
– All NI-DAQmx functions create the
waveform data type, which carries acquired data and timing
information directly into more than 400 LabVIEW built-in analysis
routines for display of results in engineering units on a graph.
Signal Conditioning
With the release of NI-DAQmx 7.4 or later, all S Series devices are
compatible with parallel mode SCXI modules.

Table 2. Most Popular Parallel-Mode SCXI Modules
SCXI is limited to 100 kS/s for 16-bit accuracy and 333 kS/s for
12-bit accuracy when used in multiplexed mode. However, in
parallel mode, the sample rate is limited by the maximum scan rate
of the data acquisition device. When SCXI is used in parallel mode
with S Series, all channels are simultaneously sampled and the
sample rate is limited by the S Series device, from 250 kS/s per
channel to 10 MS/s per channel.
