High-precision audio and vibration measurements
For the first time on the PXI platform, engineers can make precision audio and vibration measurements with the National Instruments NI4472.
Modules condition a range of sensor signals
National Instruments has released new Signal Conditioning Component modules for frequency to voltage conversion, integrated circuit piezoelectric accelerometers and RTDs.
The new board delivers accurate image acquisition for a broad range of industries, including optoelectronics, biotech, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and automotive.
Engineers and scientists now can achieve user-configurable resolution with 8bit (256 greyscale) or 10bit (1024 greyscale) acquisition, increasing accuracy from standard and nonstandard cameras.
Because the NI PXI-1409 is compatible with faster analogue double-speed progressive scan cameras at speeds up to 60frame/s, engineers and scientists can perform inspections with increased speed and reliability.
The NI PXI-1409 includes four video inputs to connect multiple cameras and hardware calibration to ensure consistent and repeatable image acquisition.
With the NI PXI-1409 and updated NI-IMAQ driver software, engineers and scientists can easily change the type of camera used in their application, providing greater flexibility when building applications.
They can replace a low-cost RS170 camera with a more sophisticated, higher resolution analogue camera.
The process requires few software changes because NI-IMAQ uses one set of function calls for a wide variety of cameras, including analogue line scan cameras and cameras with slow or variable pixel clock ranging from 2 to 40MHz. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
