Description
National Instruments NI PCI-6034E Multifunction DAQ Card 16-Bit 200 kS/s
The National Instruments PCI-6034E is a PCI-bus multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) card from NI's E-Series product line. It provides 16 single-ended (or 8 differential) analog input channels at 16-bit resolution and a maximum aggregate sample rate of 200 kS/s, making it a high-resolution analog input board suited for precision measurement applications. The card connects to external signal conditioning and terminal blocks via a 68-pin VHDCI connector on the rear bracket.

Applications
The NI E-Series DAQ cards, including the PCI-6034E, are widely used in laboratory and industrial measurement systems for tasks such as sensor data logging, signal analysis, automated test and measurement (ATE), process monitoring, and research instrumentation. The 16-bit resolution and 200 kS/s sample rate make this card well suited for precision low-frequency measurement tasks -- such as temperature, strain, pressure, and voltage acquisition -- where accuracy matters more than raw speed. These cards are commonly paired with NI's SH68-68 shielded cables and SC or TB terminal blocks, and are programmed using LabVIEW or NI-DAQ APIs. The E-Series platform was introduced in the mid-1990s and remained a dominant standard for PC-based data acquisition through the 2000s; many legacy ATE systems, university labs, and industrial monitoring setups continue to rely on E-Series hardware today, making the PCI-6034E an actively sought spare and replacement card.
This National Instruments PCI-6034E Multifunction DAQ Card was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in service. It has been visually inspected and photographed. The card appears to be in good used condition with light handling wear typical of a card that has been installed and removed from a PC system; no cracks, bent pins, or physical damage are noted. The 68-pin VHDCI bracket connector and PCI edge fingers look clean. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
