Description
The National Instruments PCI-4472B Sound and Vibration Device is designed for PC-based Dynamic Signal Analysis (DSA) applications. This device is identified by part numbers 779682-01 and 779683-01. It falls under the category of PC-based DSA and is recognized by its model name, PCI-4472B.
This device boasts 8 Simultaneously Sampled Channels for analog input, making it highly capable for a wide range of sound and vibration measurement tasks. It features a single Analog Input Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel for efficient data transfer. To ensure maximum compatibility and synchronization, it supports both PXI Synchronization (PXI_STAR) for up to 14 devices per chassis and PCI Synchronization (RTSI) for up to 5 devices across a ribbon cable.
The PCI-4472B operates within a 3.3 V/5 V signal environment and offers 8 differential analog input channels. With a maximum sample rate of 102.4 kS/s, it meets the requirements for a variety of high-speed data acquisition and processing tasks.
Currently, the device holds a mature status, indicating it is available for purchase and repairs exclusively through Apex Waves. Calibration services are available, including options for NIST accredited calibrations through a third-party provider. It is recommended that the device undergoes calibration annually or every two years to maintain optimal performance and accuracy.
