Adjusting Voltage Output and Measurement
Compare a set of measured currents reported by the PXIe-4137 to the currents measured by a
DMM.
Refer to the following table as you complete the following steps:
Table 10. Voltage Output and Measurement Adjustment
Level Range
Limit Range and Limit
Test Point
6 V
100 mA
5 V
-5 V
1.
Set the first specified level range, limit range, and limit on the PXIe-4137.
2.
Set the level on the PXIe-4137 to the first specified test point.
3.
Take a voltage measurement using the DMM.
4.
Store the value from the previous step to use as an input for the niDCPower Cal Adjust
VI or function called in the following steps.
5.
If more than one test point per level range is specified, repeat the previous steps for each
test point, from setting the level to the test point on the PXIe-4137 up to this step.
6.
Update the output calibration constants by configuring and calling the niDCPower Cal
Adjust Voltage Level VI or
niDCPower_CalAdjustVoltageLevel
function.
a)
Input the DMM measurements as the
measured outputs
.
b)
Input the test points as the
requested outputs
.
c)
Input the specified level range as the
range
.
