2.

Configure function generator according to Table 5.

3.

Enable the function generator.

4.

Acquire samples.
a.

Create and configure an AI current task according to Table 6.

b.

Configure the task timing according to Table 7.

c.

Start the task.

d.

Read samples from the NI 9227. Record the amplitude of the waveform as 

Amplitude

Acq

 for each channel.

e.

Clear the task.

5.

Perform the following calculation for each channel using the 

Amplitude

Acq 

value to 

calculate the gain for each channel.

6.

Compare the channel-to-channel gain difference to the maximum limit of ±0.13 dB.

7.

Disable the function generator.

8.

Disconnect the calibrator from the device.

If the Gain Matching verification procedure determines that the NI 9227 is outside of the limits, 
refer to 

Worldwide Support and Services

 for assistance in returning the device to NI.
