b.

Configure the AI current task according to Table 3.

c.

Start the task.

d.

For the maximum Test Point calculate and record the AC magnitude for each channel 
on the NI 9246/9247. NI recommends using the Extract Single Tone Information VI 
to calculate the magnitude. For the minimum test point average the value and record 
the result.

Note

The output magnitude of the Extract Single Tone Information is in Apk. To 

convert to RMS, use the following equation:

e.

Stop and clear the task.

7.

Compare the average for each channel to the limits in Table 4.

Note

The test limits listed in Table 4 should be used for calibration verification 

only. These values only apply under the specific calibration conditions described in 
this document, and are not to be construed as general operational specification of the 
NI 9246/9247. For operation specification, refer to the most recent 

NI 9246 

Datasheet

 and 

NI 9247 Datasheet

 at ni.com/manual. 

8.

Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

9.

Repeat steps through 7 for each test point listed in Table 4.

10. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.
