SCXI-1503 Calibration Procedure

Test Equipment

National Instruments recommends using the equipment in Table 1 for adjusting and verifying the 
SCXI-1503.

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the SCXI-1503

 

meets 

published specifications.

•

Keep connections to the module as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as antennae, which 
can pick up extra noise that affects measurements.

•

Verify that all connections to the calibration system are secure.

•

Maintain an ambient temperature of 25 ±10 °C. The SCXI-1503 module temperature will be 
greater than the ambient temperature. If you plan to operate the SCXI-1503 at a specific 
temperature outside this range, calibrate the module at that temperature.

•

Keep relative humidity below 80%.
