Description
The National Instruments PXI-4462 is a PXI Sound and Vibration Module designed for a wide range of sound and vibration applications. This sophisticated module is identified by part numbers 188261D-01, 779688-01, and 779131-01, and falls under the category of PXI DSA (Dynamic Signal Acquisition).
With a high 24-bit resolution and a maximum sample rate of 204.8 kS/s, the PXI-4462 provides precise and detailed data acquisition capabilities. This module features a four-channel dynamic signal acquisition, making it versatile for various measurement tasks. Users have the flexibility to choose from six gain settings to optimize their signal measurements according to the requirements of their specific applications.
The module includes a built-in high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 3.4 Hz, which is essential for eliminating unwanted low-frequency noise and improving signal clarity. Additionally, it supports both differential and pseudo-differential terminal configurations for analog input, providing flexibility in connecting different types of sensors.
One of the notable specifications of the PXI-4462 is its analog overload point, which stands at 10.7 Vpk for the 0 dB gain range. This feature ensures that the module can handle high voltage levels without compromising the integrity of the data.
Compatibility with a wide range of software platforms is another advantageous feature of the PXI-4462. It is compatible with NI-DAQmx, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland C++, and Microsoft .NET, making it a versatile tool for developers and engineers working in various programming environments.
Despite its obsolescence status, the PXI-4462 is still available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users of this module can continue to rely on its performance for their critical sound and vibration measurement tasks. Additionally, calibration services are available and recommended to be performed annually or every two years to maintain the module’s accuracy and reliability.
