Test Conditions
The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the device meets
published specifications.
•
Keep connections to the device as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as
antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.
•
Verify that all connections to the device are secure.
•
Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C. The device temperature will be greater
than the ambient temperature.
•
Keep relative humidity below 80%.
•
Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes to ensure that the device measurement
circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.
Initial Setup
Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9228.
1. Install NI-DAQmx.
2. Make sure that the NI cDAQ-9178 power source is not connected to the chassis.
3. Connect the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis to the system safety ground.
a) Attach a ring lug to a 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire.
b) Connect the ring lug to the ground terminal on the side of the NI cDAQ-9178 using
the ground screw.
c) Attach the other end of the wire to the system safety ground.
4. Install the module in slot 8 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis. Leave slots 1 through 7 of the
NI cDAQ-9178 chassis empty.
5. Connect the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis to your host computer.
6. Connect the power source to the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis.
7. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
8. Right-click the device name and select
Self-Test
to ensure that the module is working
properly.
Verification
The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and
provides test points required to verify the NI 9228. The verification procedure assumes that
adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.
Accuracy Verification
Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the NI 9228.
1. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).
