9.

Input the test voltage listed in Table 9 to channel 0 of the SCXI 
module.

10. Call 

DAQ_Op

. Set the following parameters:

DAQdeviceNumber

—The device number for the DAQ device

channel

—0

gain

—1 for a 16-bit E Series DAQ device

count

—100

sampleRate

—100

11. Call 

SCXI_Scale

 to convert the readings from binary to voltage. 

Set the following parameters:

SCXIChassisID

—The device number assigned by MAX

moduleSlot

—1

channel

—0

SCXIgain

—The gain you are testing

TBgain

—1

DAQboard

—The device number for the DAQ device

DAQChannel

—0

DAQgain

—1

numPoints

—100

binArray

—The array returned from 

DAQ_Op

The result is a set of scaled voltages read from the SCXI module.

12. Average the results returned by 

SCXI_Scale

. Compare the averaged 

result to the upper and lower limits listed in Table 9.

13. Repeat steps 6 through 12 for each remaining test point.

14. Repeat steps 6 through 13 for each remaining channel, changing the 

moduleChan 

variable to the channel number you are testing.

You have finished verifying the operation of the SCXI-1141/1142/1143.
