NI 9216/9226 Calibration Procedure

6.

Connect the power source to the cDAQ-9178 chassis.

7.

Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

8.

Right-click the device name and select 

Self-Test

 to ensure that the module is working 

properly.

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and test 
points required to verify the NI 9216/9226. The verification procedure assumes that adequate 
traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.

Accuracy Verification

Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the NI 9216/9226.
1.

Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

2.

Connect the desired channel of the NI 9216/9226 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1. 
Connect only one channel at a time.

Figure 1.  

4-Wire Resistance Connections

3.

Set the calibrator as a resistance source to a Test Point value indicated in Table 2.

4.

Set calibrator COMP to 4-wire.
