How do the intelligent RT Series DAQ boards compare with the 45XX dynamic signal analyzer (DSA) that National Instruments also sells?
The DSA boards are high-performance instrument cards designed specifically for making sound and vibration measurements. As a result, the DSA is programmed with instrument-like commands and has hardware that is tuned for those measurements. The DSA has hardware features like simultaneous sampling, anti-aliasing filters, and overrange detection, while the intelligent RT Series DAQ hardware remains general purpose. The RT Series is designed for real-time control and complete programmability with LabVIEW.
