Device-Specific Information

This appendix includes device-specific information about the following 
analog output devices:

NI 6711/6713

NI DAQCard-6715

NI 6722/6723

NI 6731/6733

NI 6711/6713

The following sections contain more information on the NI 6711/6713.

Features (NI 6711/6713)

The NI 6711/6713 are Plug-and-Play, analog output (AO), digital I/O 
(DIO), and timing I/O (TIO) devices for PCI bus computers. The NI 6711 
features:

four AO channels with 12-bit resolution

eight lines of TTL-compatible DIO

two 24-bit counter/timers for TIO

a 68-pin AO I/O connector

The NI 6713 features:

eight AO channels with 12-bit resolution

eight lines of TTL-compatible DIO

two 24-bit counter/timers for TIO

a 68-pin AO I/O connector

Because the NI 6711/6713 have no DIP switches, jumpers, or 
potentiometers, they are easily software-configured and calibrated.

For the NI 6711/6713 connector pinouts, refer to Chapter 2, 

I/O Connector
