PXI/CPCI 8-Channel Data Acquisition Module for Automated Test
PXI-6143 provides eight differential acquisition channels with parallel sampling in a compact 3U CPCI/PXI module. The module is designed for measurement and control systems that require programmable input ranges, trigger support, and buffered data transfer.
Key Technical Advantages
- Eight Differential Channels: Eight differential input channels support multi-point data acquisition.
- 16-Bit, 100 kSa/s: The module supports 16-bit acquisition with sampling rates up to 100 kSa/s.
- Selectable Input Ranges: Input ranges from +/-0.5 V to +/-50 V support a wide range of sensors and signals.
- Parallel Acquisition: Parallel acquisition supports synchronized capture across channels.
- Trigger Support: External TTL, channel-level, PXI, and software triggers are supported.
- Buffered Storage: Onboard storage is 128 MB typical and expandable to 256 MB.
Typical Applications
- 3U CPCI/PXI parallel data acquisition
- Eight-channel differential input acquisition
- Synchronized capture across channels
- Buffered continuous acquisition workflows
Core Specifications
- Channel Count: 8 channels, differential

PXI-6143 or a Higher-Speed or Isolated DAQ Module?
| Module | Published acquisition boundary | Choose it when |
|---|
| PXI-6143 | 8 differential channels, 16 bits, up to 100 kSa/s, 50 kHz bandwidth, AC/DC coupling, and +/-0.5 V to +/-50 V range grades | The test needs parallel 16-bit acquisition, a wide selectable voltage range, trigger options, and buffered storage without a higher sampling-rate requirement. |
| PXI-6212 high-speed DAQ | Higher-speed synchronous acquisition | High-speed transient capture and multi-module synchronisation matter more than the PXI-6143 resolution and voltage-range boundary. |
| PXI-6304 isolated ADC | Isolated, higher-rate acquisition | Channel-to-channel isolation and a higher sampling rate are explicit requirements. |
| PXI-6207 isolated DAQ | Isolated, lower-bandwidth acquisition | Isolation is required and the related module’s published bandwidth is sufficient. |
Before quotation, record the required channel count, voltage range grade, AC or DC coupling, sampling rate, bandwidth, trigger source and edge, storage duration, operating-temperature grade, chassis and operating system, driver interface, and cable configuration. Keep those selections with the acceptance record so the delivered module can be checked against the same signal map used for ordering.
Use the PXI-6143 datasheet as the released specification source, then request a PXI-6143 quote with the required range, grade, trigger, storage, chassis, software, and cable details.
