15. Compare the final result to the Upper Limit (
μ
V/V) and Lower Limit
(
μ
V/V) values in Table 7. If the result is between these values, the
device passes the test.
Note
You can analyze data in V/V form or convert it to strain using the standard
quarter-bridge equation:
where
V
r
is the compensated reading from the NI 9235/9236 and
GF
is a gage factor of 2.
16. Repeat steps 3 through 15 for all channels.
17. Set the calibrator to standby mode (STBY).
18. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.
Excitation Voltage Verification
The excitation source of the NI 9235/9236 is common to all eight input
channels so you need to verify excitation voltage on only one channel.
Complete the following steps to verify the excitation voltage:
1.
Connect the positive input of the DMM to any EXC terminal of the
module and the negative input of the DMM to any RC terminal of the
module. Leave all other terminals unconnected.
2.
Measure the DC voltage and compare it to the Lower Limit and Upper
Limit values in Table 8. If the result is between these values, the device
passes the test.
3.
Disconnect the DMM from the device.
