Description
The Part Number 777966-40 corresponds to a specific piece of hardware within the SCXI & Legacy category. This product is identified as the Model SCXI-1540, which is described as the SCXI-1540 8 ch LVDT Module. Its primary function is to serve as an LVDT Input Module, designed to facilitate connections through both 4 and 5-wire setups for LVDTs and RVDTs.
The SCXI-1540 boasts an impressive scanning rate of up to 333 kS/s, with capabilities that support random scanning. This feature is particularly useful for applications requiring flexibility in data acquisition. Furthermore, the module offers autocalibration, which can be performed through NI-DAQ or LabVIEW VI, ensuring that the module maintains accuracy and reliability over time.
One of the notable features of the SCXI-1540 module is the inclusion of an EEPROM, which is used to save correction constants directly within the module. This functionality enhances the ease of use and ensures that calibration data is readily available, thereby minimizing setup times. Configuration of the module can be achieved via Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) or through NI-DAQ function calls, offering flexibility in how users can integrate the module into their systems.
Despite its Obsolete Status, as announced by National Instruments, the SCXI-1540 module remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves. This ensures that existing systems utilizing this module can continue to operate effectively and that support for this hardware is ongoing.
