National Instruments PCI-4474 Sound and Vibration Device
The National Instruments PCI‑4474 (Part numbers: 778729-01 and 778778-01) The Sound and Vibration Device has four simultaneously sampled pseudodifferential analog input channels with 24-bit determination ADCs that are inspected at a programmable rate. The high determination gives the essential precision to make the NI PCI‑4474 device appropriate for sound and vibration examination applications. Remarkable estimations can be accomplished with the device. For instance, when examining at 51.2 kS/s, a dynamic range more prominent than 110 dB can be achieved. The device has a maximum sampling rate of 102.4 kS/s. Utilizing cutting-edge delta-sigma adjusting ADCs, the PCI-4474 accomplishes low noise and low distortion. Since these ADCs utilize a 1-bit quantizer oversampled at a different one of the predefined inspecting rates, they create exceptional linearity. Direct stage, low-pass computerized channels shape the quantization noise from the band of interest. Utilizing the delta-sigma balancing ADCs, the PCI‑4474 is safe from the DNL twisting related to customary information-securing gadgets.
The user can also apply arranged examination to dynamic signals produced by a powered system that will offer rotating or rejoining parts, including turbines, blowers, pumps, and motors. With the additional ability for online processing, the user can effortlessly make adaptable applications for condition-based checking and prescient support. The NI PCI-4474 Sound and Vibration Device also has software-selectable AC/DC coupling, no analog output channels, a 3.4 Hz high-pass filter cutoff frequency, and SMB front connectors. The device has a recommended warm-up time of 15 minutes and is self-calibrated on software command. External calibration also is advised to be carried out at least once a year. The PCI-4474 is run using the NI-DAQmx driver software, which is compatible with software packages like LabVIEW, LabWindow/CVI, or Measurement Studio.
The AC/DC-coupled device weighs 6.5 oz. and measures 6.9 x 4.2 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C, a storage temperature range of –20 to 70°C, an operating random vibration of 5 to 500 Hz (0.3 grms), and a non-operating random vibration of 5 to 500 Hz (2.4 grms).
The PCI-4474 is no longer available from the manufacturer NI (National Instruments), but it will remain available in perpetuity for both purchase and repairs with Apex Waves!
