I have a project that I am working on that requires a very compact PC but also a PCIe DAQ card from NI. I was wondering if anyone has used an NI PCIe card through a Mini PCIe to PCIe adaptor such as: http://www.amfeltec.com/products/minipcie-to-pcie-adapter.php Would this work?

Hi, I have a project that I am starting that I would appreciate some advice on. I need to develop a solution for interfacing to a third party sensor on a production line. The production line runs at 500 cans/minute and the system I am developing is required to track the cans through different stages of the line. The system I am developing has about 10 digital IOs, 7 Analogue inputs and 1 Quadrature encoder input. I was thinking of using a NI PCI6220 as my DAQ hardware and I was wondering what sort of sampling speed I should expect from it with these number of channels. I need to monitor the inputs continuously and ocassionally toggle outputs. For a first off I was planning to simply loop the system and read these inputs as fast as my PC could, there is no requirement to do complex calculations from the data inputted and there is no logging and only a simple GUI. Thanks Matt
