NI 4065 Calibration Procedure 6 ni.com
Initial Setup
To set up the test equipment, complete the following steps:
1. Remove all connections from the input banana plug connectors on the
NI 4065.
2. Verify that the calibrator has been calibrated within the time limits
specified in the
Test Equipment section, and that DC zeros calibration
has been performed within the last 30 days. Consult the
Fluke 5700A/5720A user documentation for instructions on
calibrating these devices.
Note Warm up the calibrator for at least 60 minutes, the NI PXI/PCI/PCIe-4065 (installed
in a powered-on chassis or PC) for at least 30 minutes, and the NI USB-4065 (plugged into
a USB port on a powered-on PC) for at least 50 minutes before you begin this procedure.
3. Call the niDMM Initialize VI with the Instrument Descriptor of the
device to create an instrument session.
Note You will use this session in all subsequent VI and function calls throughout the
verification procedures. For more information on using the niDMM Initialize VI or the
niDMM_init
function, refer to the NI Digital Multimeters Help .
