Specifications
This appendix lists the specifications of the NI 4350 and NI 4351. These
specifications are for a 15
to
35
°
C ambient temperature range for one year
unless otherwise specified. All specifications are relative to calibration
standards and require a 30 minute warm-up period. Specifications do not
include transducer errors. Temperature coefficient is applicable for
0
°
C to 15
°
C and 35
°
C to 55
°
C. For thermocouples, add the accessory
error in °C only if the accessory (TC-2190, PSH32-TC6, CB-27T,
TBX-68T, CB-68T) is in the 0
°
C to 15
°
C and 35
°
C to 55
°
C temperature
range.

Thermocouple measurement specifications include cold-junction compensation error (with sensor between 15 °C and 35 °C),
isothermal accuracy, and system noise. The specifications assume that the 0.625 V range is used and that ground-referencing
and open-thermocouple detection are enabled for a floating thermocouple. Specifications improve with ground-referencing
enabled and open-thermocouple detection disabled for a floating thermocouple. The specifications also assume that the
cold-junction sensor is between 15 °C and 35 °C.
