Description
The PXIe-4496 is a high-performance, PXI Digital Signal Analyzer (DSA) designed for versatile applications in various fields. It features 16 channels with 2 gain settings, making it suitable for a wide range of signal acquisition needs. Each channel supports 24-bit analog inputs with IEPE constant current signal conditioning, ensuring high-fidelity data acquisition for sensors such as microphones and accelerometers.
This module boasts a wide dynamic range, enhancing its capability to handle signals from various sources without compromise. It is compatible with the NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite, allowing users to leverage advanced analysis tools for comprehensive signal examination.
Gain settings on the PXIe-4496 can be adjusted up to +20 dB, with input ranges spanning from ±1 V to 10 V. This flexibility ensures that users can optimize the module for their specific measurement needs, whether dealing with low-level or high-amplitude signals.
An impressive feature of the PXIe-4496 is its ability to synchronize up to 272 channels in a single 18-slot PXI Express chassis, facilitating large-scale data acquisition tasks with ease. Programming is facilitated through NI-DAQmx with DAQmx Channel Expansion, simplifying the development of custom measurement and analysis applications.
The module’s density is twice that of similar simultaneously sampled models, offering an efficient solution for setups where space is at a premium. Connectivity options include two 4X InfiniBand connectors (AI0-7 and AI8-15), providing robust and reliable connections for data transfer. Furthermore, users have a variety of cabling options, including a shielded breakout cable with eight BNC connectors and a 19-inch rack-mountable adapter with 32 BNC connectors, among others, to suit different deployment scenarios.
Overall, the PXIe-4496, with part numbers 780217-01 and 780217-02, stands out as a versatile and powerful tool for professionals requiring
