Description
The PXI-4498 is a model belonging to the category of PXI DSA (Dynamic Signal Acquisition), designed for advanced noise and vibration analysis. This device is notable for its part numbers 779747-01 and 779747-02, indicating its availability in different configurations to meet various user needs.
One of the key features of the PXI-4498 is its signal activation, which is both simple and automated, offering two modes of operation for flexibility in application. It supports multiple trigger sources, including an analog input channel, external digital trigger input, and the PXI trigger bus, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of setups. The device is compatible with 5 V TTL/CMOS trigger signals, further enhancing its adaptability. Users can select from two trigger modes: the beginning trigger mode and reference shooting mode, providing options to best suit the specific requirements of their measurement tasks.
Connectivity is facilitated through two 4X InfiniBand connectors, allowing for efficient data transfer and system integration. The PXI-4498 boasts 16 input channels (AI0-7 and AI8-15), enabling comprehensive data acquisition and analysis in applications focused on noise and vibration.
When it comes to software, the PXI-4498 is supported by an impressive suite of components, including the NI Sound and Vibration Assistant and LabVIEW analysis VIs. These software tools provide users with powerful capabilities for data analysis, including control spectra, frequency response, fractional octave analysis, audio level measurements, and more. The device also supports advanced analyses such as sorting spectra, sorting maps, sorting extraction, sensor calibration, human vibration channels, and torsional vibration, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications.
Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, the PXI-4498 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that users can continue to rely on this powerful device for their noise and vibration analysis needs.
