Sample rate (peak internally
timed, for small transfers) ..................10 MS/s
Sample rate (peak externally
timed, for small transfers) ..................20 MS/s
Sample rate (min internally timed)......1 S/10 min.
Sample rate (min externally timed) .....No limit
1. Pattern generation rates depend on your computer, software, and other bus activity. The rates shown were
measured for 100 kS transfers on sample Intel Pentium-based computers, using NI-DAQ software, with no other
DAQ operations in progress. The PCI-DIO-32HS Triton I rates were measured on a 100 MHz Pentium computer with
the Triton I (430FX) chip set. The PCI-DIO-32HS Triton II rates were measured on a 166 MHz Pentium computer
with the Triton II HX (430HX) chip set. The PCI-DIO-32HS Natoma rates were measured on a 180 MHz Pentium
Pro system with the Natoma (440FX) chip set. The PXI-6533 rates were measured using a 133MHz Pentium
CompactPCI controller with the Triton I chip set. The AT-DIO-32HS rates were measured using the dual-DMA
transfer method on a 100 MHz Pentium computer with the Triton I (430FX) chip set. The DAQCard-6533 Triton I
rates were measured using a 75 MHz Pentium computer with the Triton I (430FX) chip set. The DAQCard-6533
Triton II rates were measured using a 133 MHz Pentium computer with the Natoma (430HX) chip set. The
DAQCard-6533 266 MHz Pentium II rates were measured using a 266 MHz Pentium II computer with the Natoma
(440FX) chip set.
