Description
The National Instruments PXI-4495 is a PXI Sound and Vibration Module designed for high-channel-count sound and vibration applications. This module comes in two part numbers: the Standard Module (780059-01) and an alternative version that includes the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite Software (780060-01).
As a model within the PXI DSA (Dynamic Signal Acquisition) category, the PXI-4495 stands out for its capacity to handle 24-bit simple sources of input and IEPE constant current signal modules. This capability is crucial for professionals working in fields that require the utmost accuracy and reliability in sound and vibration measurement.
One of the key features of the PXI-4495 is its ability to perform synchronous sampling on all channels, which is complemented by built-in antialiasing filters and software-selectable input gains of up to 20 dB. These features ensure that users can capture high-quality data efficiently.
The module is equipped with a 24-bit delta-sigma ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and offers programmable gain ranging from 0 to +30 dB in 10 dB steps. This level of flexibility in gain settings allows users to optimize their measurements according to the specific requirements of their applications.
Compatibility is a strong suit of the PXI-4495. It is designed to work seamlessly with TEDS Class 1 smart sensors, enabling easy integration and setup. Additionally, the module supports IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) sensors, allowing users to turn constant current on or off as selected in the software. However, it’s important to note that this module is compatible with NI-DAQmx drivers but is not compatible with Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).
In summary, the National Instruments PXI-4495 PXI Sound and Vibration Module is a powerful tool for professionals dealing with complex sound and vibration analysis. Its robust feature set, combined with flexible programmability and compatibility with smart sensors, makes it a valuable asset in any high-channel-count application.
