NI DAQCard-6062E 12-Bit Multifunction I/O Card

The NI DAQCard-6062E is a 12-bit multifunction data acquisition card designed for PCMCIA slots, delivering portable measurement and control capabilities in a compact form factor. Part of National Instruments’ E Series family, it provides analog input/output, digital I/O, and counter/timer functionality comparable to PCI and PXI equivalents while optimizing for space-constrained and field service environments. The device uses the NI DAQ-STC timing control ASIC and NI MITE ASIC for efficient data transfer, supported by NI-DAQmx drivers and compatible with LabVIEW, VI-Logger, and Measurement Studio on Windows NT/2000/XP platforms.
