SCXI-1104 Calibration Procedure

6.

Call

MIO_Config

to enable dithering on your E Series device. Set the

following parameters:

deviceNumber

—The value obtained from Measurement &

Automation Explorer

dither

—1

useAMUX

—0

7.

Connect the calibrator to the appropriate analog input, starting with
channel 0. Refer to Figure 1 to determine the pins on the 96-pin front
connector that correspond to the positive and negative inputs of the
specified channel. For example, the positive input for channel 0
(CH0+) is pin C32. The negative input for channel 0 (CH0–) is pin
B32. If you are using an SCXI-1300 breakout module connected to the
SCXI-1104, connect your calibrator to the CH0+ and CH0– inputs.

8.

Call

SCXI_Single_Chan_Setup

to configure the module for

single-channel measurements. Set the following parameters:

SCXIchassisID

—The value obtained from Measurement &

Automation Explorer

moduleSlot

—1

moduleChan

—The channel you are verifying

DAQdeviceNumber

—The device number assigned by

Measurement & Automation Explorer for the E Series DAQ
device

9.

Set your calibrator to output the test point voltage from Table 1.

10. Call

DAQ_Op

. Set the following parameters:

deviceNumber

—The device number of the DAQ device

channel

—0

gain

—1 for 16-bit E Series devices or –1 for 12-bit E Series

devices

count

—100

sampleRate

—100

11. Call

SCXI_Scale

. Set the following parameters:

SCXIChassisID

—The value obtained from Measurement &

Automation Explorer

moduleSlot

1

channel

—The channel you are verifying

SCXIgain

—0.1

TBgain

DAQboard

—The device number for the DAQ device
