Description
The National Instruments PXI-4472B is a high-precision Dynamic Signal Acquisition (DSA) module designed for sound and vibration applications. With a part number of 778279-02, this device falls under the category of PXI DSA and is recognized by its short description as the CSC-3059B (4472B) variant.
This module is equipped with 8 Simultaneously Sampled Analog Inputs, providing the capability to capture data from multiple sources concurrently. The inputs offer a high resolution of 24 bits, ensuring detailed and accurate measurements. Users have the flexibility to select between AC/DC coupling depending on the application requirements.
The PXI-4472B boasts a maximum sampling rate of 102.4 kS/s, allowing for high-speed data acquisition. This is complemented by a cutoff frequency of 0.5 Hz, which is essential for capturing low-frequency signals accurately. The module utilizes Delta-Sigma Modulation for its conversion technique, which is known for its high fidelity and low noise characteristics.
Regarding triggering, the device supports multiple analog triggering modes, including Window Triggering, Analog Edge, and Analog Edge with Hysteresis. This functionality enables users to precisely control the timing of their measurements, enhancing the module’s versatility in complex applications.
The power requirements for the PXI-4472B are specified as 3.3VDC: 400 mA max, 5VDC: 2000 mA, 12VDC: 120 mA max, and -12VDC: 120 mA max. Weighing in at 8.5 oz and with dimensions of 6.3 x 3.9 in, this module is compact yet robust, making it an ideal choice for integrated systems requiring high-density configurations.
