PC measurement card

[AustinMan@NI]

The PCI-6281 is a decent card, but it costs over $3,000 and is marked as Last Time Buy, which means NI is about to discontinue selling it. Using a PCI to ISA adaptor could also be an issue.

Have you considered a PCIe card. The PCIe-6320 costs $755 and exceeds the performance and specs. of the Lab PC+. With the leftover budget you can buy a new PC.

Whichever card you select, you will need to rewrite your application software to use the NI-DAQmx driver. Neither the 6281, or 6320 support the NI-DAQ driver used by the Lab PC+.

There may be something I don't know about your system requirements, but buying a card that has a list price of over $3,000 and is about to be discontinued is an interesting choice.

As for schematic drawings, register level programming manuals, etc. NI does not make those available. You can find connecter pinouts and basic functionality information in the documentation.

Hello Austin

Thanks for the reply.

I wanted to ask regarding the ISA card we are using right now 

MPN :182095-01, 182095C-01

What is the use of these A1 to A32 Pins

Hello Austin 

I have gone through all kinds of replacement and repair options anything is not feasible in my current scenario,

Actually, I am dealing with some of the Legacy hardware, and it would not be possible for us to change the connector rig or anything in hardware. We only have the option to redesign the card, so is there any way I can have the reference schematic and ISA implementation source code support through any kind of technical support window of NI which can also be paid. Also our requirement for the board is quite High. If you can provide end to end support till testing for redesign and quote me for that it will be helpfull.

If you could share me any portal link for reference DAQ design, and software implementation for ISA it would also be helpful.

You can make an offer to NI to buy rights to reproduce the DAQ on your own. That needs a good lucrative number for NI to even talk with you on the possibility. Are you fine with talking in terms of may be $xxx,000 to do that?

In general, what leverage do you have to make NI discuss with you of possibility?
