Description
The PXI-1470 is a model of PXI Vector Signal Analyzer manufactured by National Instruments. This sophisticated instrument is designed for a wide range of applications with a frequency range of up to 26.5 GHz, making it suitable for high-frequency signal analysis.
It comes equipped with an internal storage capacity of 256 MB and requires calibration at an interval of 1 year to ensure accuracy and reliability in its measurements. The PXI-1470 has a warm-up time of 20 minutes, after which it is ready to perform at its optimal capabilities.
In terms of power consumption, it is designed to be efficient, with a minimum power consumption of 11 W when using the PXI-1420 module and a maximum of 33 W with the PXIe-5622 module. Its resolution bandwidth is quite flexible, ranging from 100 Hz to 50 MHz, which allows for precise signal analysis across various bandwidths.
The PXI-1470 supports multiple triggering modes such as software edge, I/Q power edge, digital, and disable edge, offering versatility in operation and integration into a variety of testing setups. It is compatible with Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 operating systems, ensuring it can be integrated into many existing laboratory and industrial environments with ease.
For software, the instrument requires the NI-RFSA 2.9 driver, in addition to PXI-1470 Support software for optimal functionality. Despite its announced obsolete status by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support and availability for existing and new users.
