Table 1. NI 447x Channel, Speed, and Resolution Specifications
Overview
The National Instruments PCI-4472 and PXI-4472 are 8-channel
dynamic signal acquisition devices for making high-accuracy audiofrequency measurements. The NI PCI-4474 is a similar 4-channel
board. The vibration-optimized PXI-4472B offers a lower AC
cutoff frequency of 0.5 Hz. Input channels incorporate Integrated
Electronic Piezoelectric (IEPE) signal conditioning for
accelerometers and microphones. The input channels of an NI 447x
simultaneously digitize input signals over a bandwidth from DC to
45 kHz. You can synchronize multiple NI 447x devices for highchannel-count applications, or with other modules using the PXI star
trigger bus or the RTSI bus on PCI. When used with the Sound and
Vibration Toolkit or other software analysis tools, an NI 447x can
obtain a variety of accurate time and frequency measurements for
your application.

oversampled at a multiple of the specified
sampling rate, they produce extraordinary linearity. Extremely flat,
linear-phase, lowpass digital filters then remove aliases and shape the
quantization noise from the band of interest. Using the delta-sigma
modulating ADCs, an NI 447x is immune to the DNL distortion
associated with conventional data acquisition devices.

Hardware
Analog Inputs
Figure 1. The 24-bit architecture of the NI 447x devices deliver more than 110 dB dynamic
NI 447x devices have four or eight analog inputs with 24-bit
resolution ADCs that are simultaneously sampled at a softwareprogrammable rate. The high resolution provides the necessary
accuracy to make NI 447x devices well suited for audio and vibration
analysis applications.
Outstanding measurements can be achieved with an NI 447x.
For example, when sampling at 51.2 kS/s and using a 16 k FFT, a
range and a significantly lower noise floor than 12, 16, and comparable 24-bit products.
Antialiasing
The analog inputs have both analog and real-time digital filters
implemented in hardware to prevent aliasing. Input signals are first
passed through fixed analog filters to remove any signals with
frequency components beyond the range of the ADCs; then digital

reference is used for internal calibration to ensure stable, accurate DC
specifications. NIST-traceable and ISO-9002-certified calibration
certificates are available online.
PXI/PCI Interface
NI 447x devices use the PCI mini-MITE to deliver full DMA busmaster data transfer rates of 20 to 30 MB/s and burst rates up to
132 MB/s. A 1,024-sample, analog input FIFO prevents data loss if
DMA or interrupt service latency is long.
Figure 2. In an 18-slot PXI chassis with 14 PXI-4472 modules, you can have up to
112 simultaneously sampled analog inputs.
antialiasing filters automatically adjust their cutoff frequency to
remove any frequency components above half the programmed
sampling rate. This advanced analog input design frees you from
adding additional external filters to prevent aliasing.
Multidevice Synchronization
For applications requiring high channel counts, you can synchronize
the operation of two or more NI 447x devices. Using the PXI star
trigger bus, you can send and receive timing signals between
PXI-447x modules. Synchronization is achieved by sharing a digital
trigger from one device and synchronizing all devices to the same
clock. The PXI star trigger bus, as defined by the PXI Specification,
ensures synchronization between modules with less than 1 ns of
skew, which enables a system to have 0.1 deg phase mismatch for a
1 kHz signal between any two channels across devices in the same
chassis. Low phase mismatch is critical in obtaining phase
information from cross-channel measurements in many
applications. In the 18-slot PXI-1045 chassis, you can synchronize up
to 14 PXI-4472 modules to have up to 112 simultaneously sampled
analog inputs. Using the RTSI bus, two or more PCI-4472 or PCI-4474
boards can be synchronized as well.
Triggering
NI 447x devices have two trigger modes for acquiring signals.
Pretrigger mode digitizes signals before and after a trigger condition
occurs. Posttrigger mode digitizes signals after a trigger condition
occurs. The source of the trigger can come from any analog input
channel, the external digital trigger input, the PXI trigger bus or
RTSI bus, or through software. The external digital trigger is 5 V
TTL/CMOS-compatible and is activated by a choice of rising or falling
edge. Triggering is needed in applications such as those that acquire
transient signals. For example, when measuring transient vibrations
resulting from striking a mechanical structure with a hammer,
acquisition of accelerometer signals is triggered by hammer impact.
Calibration
Measurement Services Software
NI 447x devices use NI-DAQmx as the hardware and operating
system interface. You can build automated test systems or integrate
an NI 447x with other hardware, including multifunction DAQ
products, through NI-DAQ function calls for LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio.
Because of bandwidth, NI 447x devices are well suited for
applications in audio and vibration analysis. These applications are
specifically addressed in the Sound and Vibration Toolkit and the
Order Analysis Toolkit for LabVIEW. Using these toolkits in
conjunction with NI 447x devices, you can produce power spectra,
frequency responses, fractional-octave analysis, sound-level
measurements, order spectra, order maps, and order extraction.
A typical setup for an environmental noise and vibration
measurement application would use one or more PXI-4472 modules,
a PXI chassis and controller, LabVIEW, and the Sound and
Vibration Toolkit.
