Description
The NI-PXI-4224 is an advanced 8-channel isolated DAQ device, designed to meet a variety of needs in the SCXI & Legacy category. This device comes with part numbers 779182-01 and 191288F-02, indicating its unique identification for support and service. It is specifically engineered to provide high-quality data acquisition capabilities.
One of the key features of the NI-PXI-4224 is its channel isolation, which is rated at 60 VDC (42 Vrms) CAT I for channel-to-channel isolation. This high level of isolation ensures that signal integrity is maintained, protecting both the data and the device from potential electrical interference.
The device boasts built-in signal conditioning, allowing for a wide range of signal types to be accurately measured without the need for external signal conditioning equipment. This, combined with its programmable gain settings per channel, makes the NI-PXI-4224 highly adaptable to various measurement tasks.
For connectivity, the NI-PXI-4224 utilizes a 25-pin D-SUB connector and one SMB connector. The SMB connector facilitates external calibration, enabling users to ensure that their measurements remain accurate over time. Additionally, it is recommended to use the TB-2725 terminal block with the NI-PXI-4224 for optimal connection and performance.
The device is supported by the NI-DAQmx driver, which provides a comprehensive software experience for configuring, controlling, and acquiring data from the device. This driver support ensures ease of integration into existing systems and applications.
Despite its obsolete status announced by National Instruments, the NI-PXI-4224 remains available for purchase and repairs by Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on this high-quality DAQ device for their measurement needs.
