PXI-4496

Part number(s):
779748-01

204.8 kS/s, 114 dB, 2 Gains, 0.5 Hz AC-Coupled, 16-Input PXI Sound and Vibration Module

Overview

The PXI-4496 is designed for high-channel-count sound and vibration applications. With 24-bit analog inputs and IEPE constant current signal conditioning, the PXI-4496 is ideal for making precision measurements with microphones, accelerometers, and other transducers that have very large dynamic ranges. The PXI-4496 delivers simultaneous sampling on all channels. In addition, the PXI-4496 includes built-in antialiasing filters that automatically adjust to your sampling rate and software-selectable input gains up to 20 dB, and TEDS smart sensor support for error-free setup. Common applications include noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) analysis, large microphone arrays, and dynamic structural test.

PXI-4496 Accessories and Software

  • Product (Part Number)
    Description
    Recommended use cases
    FlexLogger Professional (785748-3501)
    FlexLogger Professional, Subscription License, Download

    Recommended for automated, extensible data logging with NI data acquisition (DAQ) hardware. Automate tests using alarms, triggers, and events, and expand capabilities with plug-ins.

    Key Features

    • Multichassis synchronization—Synchronize multiple NI chassis for accurate, time-aligned measurements across high channel counts.
    • Logging triggers—Start, stop, or segment data recording automatically based on sensor thresholds or other conditions to capture only what matters.
    • Events—Respond to specific occurrences during a test, such as activating equipment when a condition is met (for example, start cooling fans when temperature exceeds a limit).
    • Automation APIs—Control and monitor FlexLogger from external applications (Python, NI LabVIEW, or NI TestStand), enabling integration into larger automated test systems.
    • Calculation channels—Perform real-time math on acquired data (averages, RMS, custom formulas) to track derived measurements as the test runs.
    • Plug-ins—Extend FlexLogger with custom LabVIEW or Python plug-ins to integrate third-party hardware, perform custom analysis, or connect to lab systems.
    • CAN/LIN logging—Acquire and log automotive network data alongside sensor measurements for complete vehicle or subsystem testing.
    LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit Full (788450-35)
    NI Sound and Vibration Toolkit Full, Subscription License, Download

    Recommended for performing audio and distortion measurements, frequency analysis, frequency response measurements, and transient analysis. Included solutions comply with evolving IEC standards. Includes 50 ready-to-run NI LabVIEW examples to help you get started with applications.

    LabVIEW+ Suite (788509-35)
    NI LabVIEW+ Suite, Subscription License, Download

    Recommended for engineers building full test and validation systems where modular code development and higher-level frameworks are needed to accelerate development for shorter time to market.

    The LabVIEW+ Suite includes the following products:

    • NI LabVIEW—Provides a graphical programming environment for test system development, enabling connectivity to any instrument and fully integrated user interfaces.
    • NI TestStand—Eliminates the need for time-intensive in-house sequencer development and maintenance by providing an off-the-shelf test management software for validation and production test.
    • NI DIAdem—Saves engineers hundreds of hours of manual data analysis and report creation with automation.
    • NI FlexLogger™ software—Simplifies data acquisition and data logging with interactive measurement setup for NI DAQ hardware.
    • NI InstrumentStudio™ software—Provides a central location for configuration, measurement, and automation.
