Common applications include laboratory research, industrial control and monitoring, and prototype development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin:20px 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAnalog Inputs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:16px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;\"\u003eThe LabJack U6 has 14 external analog inputs (AIN0-AIN13). AIN0-AIN3 are available on screw terminals and also on the DB37 connector. All 14 analog inputs are available on the DB37 connector.\u003cbr\u003eThe maximum input range is ±10 volts, with software selectable gains of x1, x10, and x100. Each analog input can be measured single-ended, or differentially in even\/odd pairs. Analog input resolution is 16 bits at max speed (~20 µs conversion time), increasing to 18+ bits at slower speeds (see Section 3.1 - Command\/Response and Section 3.2 - Stream Mode). Input impedance is at least 1 GO, with typical input bias currents of only 20 nA.\u003cbr\u003eCommand\/response (software timed) analog input reads typically take 1-4 ms depending on number of channels and communication configuration. Hardware timed input streaming (supported with hi-speed converter only) has a maximum rate that varies with resolution from 4 ksamples\/s at 18 bits to 50 ksamples\/s at 16 bits.\u003cbr\u003eFor more information see the U6 Datasheet. The U6-Pro has all the features of the normal U6 with the addition of an auxiliary low-speed high-resolution (24-bit) sigma-delta ADC. Analog input resolution varies from 19.5 bits (RMS or Effective) at max speed (4 ms conversion time), to 22 bits at slower speeds (160 ms conversion time).\u003cbr\u003eFor more information about the analog inputs see Section 2.6 - AIN and Appendix A. For data rate information see Section 3.1 - Command\/Response and Section 3.2 - Stream Mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin:20px 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eTemperature Sensor:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:16px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;\"\u003eThe LabJack U6 has a temperature sensor located very close to the AIN0-AIN3 screw-terminals. Accuracy is ±2 degrees C (max). This sensor is particularly useful for thermocouple cold junction compensation (CJC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin:20px 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFixed Current Outputs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:16px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;\"\u003eThe LabJack U6 has 2 fixed current outputs of 10 µA and 200 µA. These are useful for measuring resistance (resistors, thermistors, RTDs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin:20px 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAnalog Outputs:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:16px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;\"\u003eThe LabJack U6 has 2 analog outputs (DAC0 and DAC1) that are available both on screw terminals and the DB37 connector. Each analog output can be set to a voltage between about 0 and 5 volts with 12-bits of resolution. The analog outputs are based on a true voltage reference.\u003cbr\u003eThe analog outputs are updated in command\/response mode, with a typical update time of 1-4 ms depending on communication configuration.\u003cbr\u003eFor more information see the U6 Datasheet. For more information about the analog outputs see Section 2.7 - DAC and Appendix A.

All 8 FIO and 3 MIO are available on the DB37 connector, and 8 EIO and 4 CIO are available on the DB15 connector. Note that on the U6, CIO0-CIO2 are the same as MIO0-MIO2.\u003cbr\u003eCommand\/response (software timed) reads\/writes typically take 1-4 ms depending on communication configuration. The digital inputs can also be read in a hardware timed input stream where up to 16 inputs count as a single stream channel.\u003cbr\u003eFor more information see the U6 Datasheet.

The timers are very flexible, providing options such as PWM output, pulse timing, pulse counting, and quadrature input.\u003cbr\u003eFor more information about the timers see Section 2.9 - Timers\/Counters and Appendix A of the U6 Datasheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#222;margin:20px 0 10px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCounters:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:16px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;\"\u003eUp to 2 digital I\/O can be configured as 32-bit counters.
