Description
The Part Number for the described module is 183625A-02, which falls under the Category of SCXI & Legacy systems. This component, known as the Model VXI-SC-1102, is specifically a VXI-SC-1102B, 32-Channel Multiplexer Amplifier Module, designed and manufactured by National Instruments. It is primarily used in a VXI system for signal conditioning, making it a pivotal part of the system’s functionality.
The module is compatible with the Carrier Module VXI-SC-1000, ensuring seamless integration and operation within the system. It boasts 32 differential analog channels for input, which are essential for handling multiple signal inputs simultaneously. An additional feature of this module is its cold-junction sensor terminal, which is crucial for accurate temperature measurements and compensations.
For signal processing, the module is equipped with a 3-pole low-pass filter, featuring a 2 Hz cutoff frequency, which is vital for eliminating high-frequency noise and ensuring the fidelity of the signal. The Amplifier Gain is selectable as 1 or 100, providing flexibility in signal amplification to meet various application needs. It outputs a single signal by multiplexing inputs, which simplifies the signal processing chain.
The Applications for this module are vast, including handling volt and millivolt sources, as well as current sources (4 – 20 mA, 0 – 20 mA process-current sources), making it versatile for a wide range of measurement tasks. Despite its Obsolete Status, as announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring its continued utility in many systems.
