Description
The PXI-4462 is a high-performance PXI Sound and Vibration Module, designated by part numbers 779688-01 and 779131-01. This module falls under the category of PXI DSA, designed specifically for dynamic signal acquisition, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring high precision and reliability.
It features a 24-bit resolution and is capable of a sample rate up to 204.8 kS/s, ensuring detailed and accurate data capture. The module supports four-channel dynamic signal acquisition, offering flexibility in handling multiple signals simultaneously. Users can benefit from its six gain settings, allowing for optimal signal-to-noise ratio and signal integrity under various conditions.
The PXI-4462 is equipped with a high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 3.4 Hz, which is useful for eliminating low-frequency noise and improving measurement accuracy. It supports differential and pseudo-differential terminal configurations for analog input, providing versatility in connecting different types of sensors and signal sources.
An important feature of this module is its ability to handle an analog overload point up to 10.7 Vpk at 0 dB gain range, protecting the system from damage due to signal overloads. It is compatible with a wide range of software, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland C++, and Microsoft .NET, facilitating easy integration into existing systems.
The module can be configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool, simplifying setup and customization according to user requirements. Although its obsolete status has been announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. Furthermore, calibration services are available, accredited by NIST through a 3rd party, ensuring continued accuracy and performance.
