Current Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following steps to adjust the current accuracy of the NI 9219.

1.

Connect the NI 9219 to the DMM and source as shown in Figure 4.

2.

Open a calibration session to your device using the DAQmx Initialize External Calibration VI. The 
default password is 

NI

.

3.

Place all channels on the NI 9219 in current mode using the NI 9219 instance of the DAQmx Setup 
C Series Calibration VI.
