The National Instruments PCI-4462 is a high-performance Sound and Vibration Device designed for advanced data acquisition applications. This device features four differential analog input channels, each operating with a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to achieve exceptional resolution and accuracy. The PCI-4462 employs fixed analog filtering to eliminate frequency components outside of the ADC range, ensuring high-fidelity signal processing. Although the device does not include output channels, it offers software-programmable attenuation settings of 0, 20, or 40 dB on the input channels, providing flexibility for various signal levels. The channels are equipped with both analog and digital anti-aliasing filters, mitigating unwanted out-of-band components and images during the digitization of analog signals.

Connectivity is facilitated through BNC female connectors for analog inputs and an SMB male connector for digital triggering. The device operates on a 3.3 V or 5 V PCI bus interface, and features one analog input Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel to optimize data transfer speeds. The PCI-4462 has a warm-up time of 15 minutes and supports both self-calibration and external calibration, with a recommended calibration interval of one year. With an operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C and a storage temperature range of -20 to 70 °C, this robust module is designed for various environmental conditions. The compact dimensions of 6.9 x 3.9 inches and a weight of 8.0 oz. make it suitable for integration into diverse system configurations.
