5.

Launch MAX.

6.

Expand 

Devices and Interfaces

 to confirm that MAX detects the module.

7.

Right-click the module name and select 

Self-Test

 to ensure that the module is working 

properly.

Note

When a module is configured with MAX, it is assigned a module name. Each 

function call uses this module name to determine which DAQ module to calibrate. 
This document uses Dev1 to refer to the module name. In the following procedures, 
use the module name as it appears in MAX.

Connecting the Calibrator to the Module

Refer to the specific verification or calibration procedure section for information describing the 
required module connections. Each channel consists of a group of four pins specific to that 
channel. Before connecting or disconnecting the calibrator from the module, always set the 
calibrator to standby mode (STBY).

Refer to Figure 1 for the pin assignments of the TB-4357.
