Description
The PCI-4472 is a PC-based Dynamic Signal Analyzer (DSA) that boasts a part number of 778348-01, 187611F-02. This device is designed to offer a high-performance solution for sound and vibration measurement and analysis. It features a 24 Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that operates at 102.4 kS/s, allowing for the simultaneous acquisition of data from 8 input channels. Each channel is equipped with anti-aliasing filters and supports Integrated Electronic Piezoelectric (IEPE) sensors, providing a dynamic range of 110 dB.
The PCI-4472 is tailored for a wide array of applications including but not limited to pass-by noise evaluation, noise and vibration diagnostics, structural vibration analysis, audio testing and measurement, telecommunications testing, sound power determination, and machine condition monitoring. It supports both pretrigger and posttrigger modes for flexible data collection, and features 5 VTTL/CMOS-compatible digital triggers for precise event capturing.
One of the key features of the PCI-4472 is its ability to be synchronized with other NI-447x devices, enhancing its utility in complex measurement setups. Compatibility with NI-DAQmx and the Sound and Vibration Toolkit ensures that users have access to powerful configuration and analysis tools, further extending the device’s application range.
For maintenance and optimal performance, calibration of the PCI-4472 is available and recommended either annually or every two years. Despite being a mature product, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support for users.
