Description
The National Instruments PCI-4462 Sound and Vibration Device is categorized under PC-based Dynamic Signal Analyzers (DSA) and carries the part number 192346C-01 (779309-01). This device is designed to offer precise sound and vibration measurements and analysis.
It features 4 differential analog input channels with a high-resolution 24-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) to ensure accurate data capture. Furthermore, the device provides 2 analog output channels, each with a 24-bit resolution for detailed signal generation. The maximum output rate achievable by these channels is 204.8 kS/s, allowing for high-speed signal processing.
The PCI-4462 includes options for software-programmable attenuation, with settings of 0, 20, or 40 dB, to suit various signal levels. The output channel evenness is maintained within ±0.1 dB, ensuring consistent performance across channels.
Connection to the device is facilitated through BNC female analog I/O and SMB male digital trigger connectors, providing versatility in setup. It interfaces with the PCI bus at either 3.3 V or 5 V, making it compatible with a wide range of systems. The device also supports analog input DMA channel 1 for efficient data transfer.
Before reaching optimal performance, the PCI-4462 requires a warm-up time of 15 minutes. It features both self-calibration and external calibration capabilities, ensuring long-term accuracy and reliability, with a recommended calibration interval of 1 year.
The unit weighs 8.0 oz. and has dimensions of 6.9 x 3.9 inches, making it compact and easy to integrate into various setups. Designed for durability, it operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can be stored between -20 to 70 °C.
