Description
The NI PXI-4496 is a high-performance, PXI Dynamic Signal Analyzer (DSA) designed for sound and vibration applications. It features part numbers 779748-01 and 779748-02, indicating two variations of the product to cater to different needs. This device falls under the category of PXI DSA, highlighting its compatibility and intended use within the PXI systems for dynamic signal analysis.
With a model number PXI-4496, this DSA is designed to deliver precise measurements. It boasts a 24-bit resolution and can sample data at a rate of up to 204.8 kS/s, ensuring high fidelity in capturing sound and vibration signals. The device features 16 input channels, making it versatile for various measurement configurations.
The PXI-4496 is specifically noted for its 2 gain stages and TEDS support for easy sensor setup and calibration, along with being AC-Coupled to isolate DC offsets in signal measurements. Its signal conditioning capabilities include IEPE constant current supply for powering piezoelectric sensors, making it highly suitable for professional sound and vibration analysis.
One of the key specifications of the PXI-4496 is its dynamic range, which reaches up to 114 dB, providing the ability to capture a wide range of signal amplitudes without distortion. The device employs Delta-sigma modulation for its A/D conversion, ensuring accurate and noise-free signal digitization.
This DSA is compatible with the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite (779748-02), offering a comprehensive set of tools for advanced analysis. This software compatibility ensures users can easily setup, acquire, and analyze sound and vibration data with high precision and reliability.
