For the first time on the PXI platform, engineers can make precision audio and vibration measurements - using the National Instruments NI 4472 signal acquisition module
Massive online sensors and automation resource
Engineers and scientists now can join an online community of experts, NI Developer Zone, to help them design and implement measurement and automation systems.
The device also features two 16-bit analogue outputs (333kS/s update rate), two 24-bit counter/timers, and eight digital I/O lines.
Its IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connection delivers high-speed, continuous transfers to and from the computer.
Engineers and scientists can daisy-chain up to four of the devices on the same IEEE 1394 bus with no degradation in performance.
The speed, performance, and portability of the device make it ideal for design validation and research/lab automation applications including acoustical testing, field diagnostics, and vibration analysis.
With the release of the DAQPad-6052E device, combined with NI's DAQPad-6070E device, the company offers its two highest performance E Series DAQ products in a portable platform.
The DAQPad-6052E for IEEE 1394 is available in a mass termination model and a BNC termination model.
The mass termination model features a 68-pin cable that connects to standard E Series accessories such as connector blocks and signal conditioning modules.
The BNC termination model features BNC connectors to easily attach signals to the device.
Engineers and scientists should use the BNC termination model when no signal conditioning is required on their input signals.
The DAQPad-6052E device comes with NI-DAQ 6.9 driver software, a powerful application programming interface for use with numerous development environments and languages.
NI-DAQ 6.9 transparently connects to the IEEE 1394 bus interface and integrates seamlessly with NI's popular application software, including LabView and Measurement Studio. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
