The National Instruments PXI-1407 is a precision monochrome IMAQ device designed for integration into PCI, PXI, or CompactPCI chassis, adhering to RS-170 and CCIR video standards. This unit enables progressive frame acquisition and facilitates direct memory transfer, accommodating dynamic scan rates of 25, 30, 50, and 60 frames per second. The PXI-1407 features gain alignment, high-impedance mode, and an 8-bit flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that digitizes video signals effectively. Its user-friendly configuration allows for straightforward installation and initiation of image acquisition, especially when paired with NI-IMAQ, the comprehensive image acquisition driver software from National Instruments. This software simplifies device control and supports application development through interfaces such as LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI.

Ideal for industrial and scientific applications, the PXI-1407 is cost-effective and highly accurate, accommodating a single video source and offering an external I/O line capable of functioning as a trigger or digital I/O. For users requiring advanced triggering or additional I/O options, the PXI-1407 can seamlessly work in conjunction with National Instruments’ data acquisition (DAQ) product lines. The device supports both high-level functions, like single-shot or continuous image capturing, and low-level operations, which involve a comprehensive understanding of the IMAQ Device and its operational sequences.

With a weight of 0.32 lb and dimensions of 6.3 x 3.9 inches, the PXI-1407 is engineered for resilient performance. It operates effectively within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can be stored at temperatures between -20 to 70 °C. The device is rated for a non-condensing humidity range of 10 to 90%, and showcases robust vibration resistance of 0.31 grms during operation and 2.5 grms during non-operation across a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz. The PXI-1407 complies with multiple safety standards, including EN 61010-1:1993/A2:1995 and UL 3101-1:1993.
