Description
The SCXI-1520 is a highly detailed and precise measurement module, identifiable by its part numbers 777966-20 and 186338-01. This module is designed to accommodate 8 analog input channels, allowing for versatile data acquisition tasks. It is compatible with several terminal blocks, including the SCXI-1314, SCXI-1310, TBX-96, and SCXI-1314T, providing flexibility in connection options.
Each channel on the SCXI-1520 features an excitation source that is programmable up to 10 V, enabling precise control over sensor measurements. The module utilizes a programmable 4-pole Butterworth filter to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data being processed. Furthermore, it incorporates a simultaneous-sample-and-hold feature for sampling, which is crucial for applications requiring synchronized data collection from multiple channels.
For software integration, the SCXI-1520 is compatible with NI-DAQmx driver software, ensuring seamless operation with LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. This module also supports parallel mode operation with NI-DAQ 7 and boasts a random scanning capability, offering flexibility in data acquisition approaches.
The SCXI-1520 is relatively lightweight at 10.4 oz and has compact dimensions of 1.2 x 6.9 x 8.0 inches, making it suitable for a variety of setups without requiring excessive space. It operates optimally within a temperature range of 0 to 50 °C, ensuring reliable performance in various environments.
Although it has been announced as obsolete, calibration services for the SCXI-1520 are still available. These services are NIST accredited through a 3rd party, with an in-house option available prior to shipping, ensuring that the module meets precise measurement standards and requirements.
