NI PXIe-4353 Calibration Procedure

12

ni.com

13. Perform an external calibration adjustment by selecting the DAQmx Adjust 4353 Calibration VI, 

from the DAQmx Adjust SC Express Calibration polymorphic VI. Set the physical channels to 

Dev1/_cjtemp0

. The reference value parameter is the actual output of the calibrator, 32.4 k

Ω

.

14. Set the calibrator resistance to 0

Ω

 and wait for the calibrator output to settle.

15. Perform an external calibration adjustment by selecting the DAQmx Adjust 4353 Calibration VI, 

from the DAQmx Adjust SC Express Calibration polymorphic VI. Set the physical channels 
to

Dev1/_cjtemp0

. The reference value parameter is the actual output of the calibrator, 0

Ω

.

16. Disable the calibrator output.

17. Save the adjustment constants to the EEPROM, using the DAQmx Close External Calibration VI 

and set the action to Commit. This VI also saves the date, time, and temperature of the adjustment 
to the onboard memory.

Note

If an error occurs during adjustment, no constants will be written to the EEPROM.

18. Disconnect the calibrator from the module.

Note

Partial adjustment of only the TC channels is possible by omitting steps 10 through 16. Partial 

adjustment of only the CJC channels is possible by omitting steps 3 through 9.
