PXIe-5164 Self-Calibration

For the PXIe-5164, self-calibration yields the following benefits:

Characterizes onboard sample clock phase adjustment circuitry

Characterizes onboard intermodule synchronization measurement circuitry

Corrects for DC gain and offset errors within the oscilloscope for all ranges and both
input impedance paths based on comparison to a precision, high-stability internal voltage
reference

Calibrates offset error of interleaving ADCs

Takes approximately 1 minute to complete

Running Self-Calibration

Running self-calibration enables the PXIe-5164 to yield full performance over its operating
temperature range and two-year external calibration cycle.

Before running self-calibration, warm up the PXIe-5164 for at least 15 minutes.

Note

 

Warm-up begins after the chassis and controller or PC is powered, the

module is recognized by the host, and the module is configured using the instrument
design libraries or NI-SCOPE.

Tip

 

In some RIO applications, the power consumed by the module can be

significantly higher than the default image for the module. In these cases, you can
improve performance by loading your image and configuring the PXIe-5164 before
warm-up time begins.

PXIe-5164 modules are externally calibrated at the factory, but for optimal performance, use
self-calibration in any of the following situations:

After first installing the PXIe-5164 in your chassis

After any module in the chassis is installed, uninstalled, or moved

When the system is in an environment where the ambient temperature varies or the
module temperature has drifted more than ±5 °C from the previous self-calibration

To periodically adjust for small performance drifts that occur with product aging

When 90 days have elapsed since the previous self-calibration

Tip

 

You can use the nodes on the LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for

Reconfigurable Oscilloscopes External Calibration palette to programmatically
return the date and module temperature of the previous self-calibration. You can also
view this information by selecting the device in MAX.
