National Instruments PCI-1407

The National Instruments PCI-1407 (Part Number: 777852-01) is a high-precision, industrial-grade monochrome image acquisition (IMAQ) device designed for use in PCI chassis, supporting both CCIR and RS-170 video standards. This module enables real-time frame acquisition and provides direct transfer of captured frames to system memory, ensuring efficient processing. Featuring an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the PCI-1407 processes video signals, converting them into digital format with a frequency response of 15 MHz (-3 dB) typical. It is compatible with progressive scan formats at frame rates of 25, 30, 50, and 60 frames per second.

The PCI-1407 is easy to configure, allowing users to initiate image acquisition promptly using the NI-IMAQ driver, which simplifies interaction without the need for register-level programming. It is compatible with various application development environments, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Visual Basic. Designed for economical effectiveness, the PCI-1407 meets the demands of both scientific and industrial applications while supporting one video source and one external I/O which can function as a digital I/O line or trigger.

For applications requiring additional triggering or I/O lines, the PCI-1407 can be paired with National Instruments' data acquisition product line. The device installs in an empty PCI expansion slot within a PC, and it is advisable to maintain spacing from adjacent boards to enhance noise performance. It includes offset and gain circuitry to optimize the ADC input signal range and features a PCI interface for high-speed data transfer. The PCI-1407 measures 4.2 x 6.9 inches and weighs 0.28 lb, with an operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and a storage range of –20 to 70 °C. It supports a non-condensing relative humidity range of 10 to 90% and comes with a three-year warranty. Comprehensive user and maintenance manuals are available for download.
