6.

Calculate the phase for each channel on the NI 9225. NI recommends using the Extract 
Single Tone Information VI to calculate phase.

7.

Compare the channel-to-channel phase difference to the limits in Table 11.

8.

Repeat steps through 7 for each test point in Table 11.

9.

Disable the function generator.

10. Disconnect the function generator from the device.

If the Phase Matching verification procedure determines that the NI 9225 is outside of the limits, 
refer to 

Where to Go for Support

 for assistance in returning the device to NI.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required 
to adjust the NI 9225.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9225.

1.

Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

2.

Connect the NI 9225 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

3.

Adjust the NI 9225.

a.

Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9225. The default password is 

NI

.

b.

Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c.

Call the NI 9225 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of 
recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9225.

d.

Set the calibrator to a reference value determined by the array of recommended 
calibration voltages.

e.

Set the calibrator to Operate mode (OPR).

f.

Call and configure the NI 9225 adjustment function according to Table 12.

g.

Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).
