NI 9269 Accuracy Verification Test Limits

Note

Test limits in Table 4 are derived using the values in Table 6.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure

 

describes the sequence of operation required 

to adjust the NI 9269.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9269.
1.

Adjust the NI 9269.
a.

Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9269. The default password is 

NI

.

b.

Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c.

Call the NI 9269 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of 
recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9269.

d.

Connect the DMM to the NI 9269 as shown in Figure 1.

e.

Set the DMM to read DC voltage in the minimum range required to cover the NI 9269 
output range of ±10 V.

f.

Call and configure the NI 9269 setup calibration function with the DAC value 
obtained from the array of recommended calibration voltages.

g.

Wait the appropriate amount of time for the DMM measurement to settle.

h.

Read the NI 9269 output voltage measurement from the DMM.

i.

Call and configure the NI 9269 adjustment function according to Table 5.

j.

Repeat steps f to i for each calibration voltage in the array.

k.

Close the calibration session.

l.

Disconnect the DMM from the NI 9269.

2.

Repeat step 1 for each channel on the NI 9269.
