PXI-6259 2 KHz signal acquire, sound

Hello:

I working with a brakin product ABS motor, with a PWM at 2.8 KHZ, my setup:

-PXI-1042Q Chassis

-PXI-6259 Analog acquisition card.

 

when I fire the motor in order to measure the peak current and the motor stable current, a sound coming from the PXI chassis like if the Analog card reproduce the 2.8KHZ signal in sound, if i reduce the frequency from the product to 2KHz the sound is loud,

 

my question is is a NI application engineer can tell me if this is normal or if I violating a card o chassis parameter, the voltage that I reading at peak  1.1 VDC  aprox, and 0.1 and state stable,

 

attached you can find a complete data coming from the product to the analog card.

 

the results are good just is bother me the sound,

 

thanks in advance

The frequency and voltage range that you are using are definitely within specifications for the PXI-6259, and if you notice a sound from the chassis, it is due to the fans, which I agree with you it can be very loud. The fact a slight change in frequency would produce a different sound from the chassis is rather strange. Not sure if it's just the noise volume that increases, or if it's like a high pitch sound changing.

 

What would be more useful is that you record this noise to a .wav file (hopefully good quality audio) and upload it here, to determine if the sound is normal or not.
