Description
The 779687-01 is a dynamic signal analyzer from the PXI DSA category, specifically the PXI-4461 model. This device boasts 2-channel dynamic signal generation and 2-channel acquisition, making it highly versatile for a range of applications. It is designed to accommodate one of six gain settings in its input range design, and offers AC/DC programmable input coupling, ensuring flexibility in signal testing.
Furthermore, the PXI-4461 incorporates IEPE conditioning, making it suitable for applications in audio testing, automotive NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), and machine condition monitoring. It supports both differential and pseudo-differential terminal configurations for analog input (AI), ensuring adaptability for various testing environments. Additionally, it features a resistance between the BNC shell and chassis of 50 Ω, indicating its robust build quality.
For precision data capture, the device is equipped with digital filters to prevent aliasing on its analog input channels. Users can configure the input channel on a per channel basis, choosing between differential or pseudo-differential modes to best suit their measurement needs. Moreover, the PXI-4461 enables synchronization of the acquisition clock with other devices, enhancing its utility in complex setups requiring precise timing.
Triggering options are comprehensive, offering both digital and analog methods. With 24-bit AD converters, the device ensures high-resolution data acquisition. The sampling rates are software-programmable, including common rates like 44.1 kS/s and 48.0 kS/s, among others. This flexibility allows users to tailor the device’s performance to their specific project requirements.
Regarding maintenance, calibration is available and recommended annually or biennially. The calibration services are provided by Apex Waves, offering NIST accredited calibrations through a third party, as well as basic in-house calibration, ensuring that the PXI-4461 operates at its best performance levels.
