NI 9237 Calibration Procedure
7.
Acquire and average 10,000 points of voltage data using the DAQmx
Read VI, as shown in the following table.
8.
Take a reading of the excitation value from the DMM. You must take
this reading for each excitation value that you enter in step 4.
9.
Calculate the upper and lower limits using the following equations:
UpperLimit
= (
CalibratorOutputSetting
/
DMMReading
) +
AbsoluteErrorfromTable4
LowerLimit
= (
CalibratorOutputSetting
/
DMMReading
) –
AbsoluteErrorfromTable4
10. Compare the result from step 7 to the upper limit and lower limit
values you calculated in step 9. If the result is between these values, the
device passes the test.
11. Clear the acquisition using the DAQmx Clear Task VI, as shown in the
following table.
12. Repeat steps 2 through 11 for all voltage values, all excitation values,
and all channels.
13. Disconnect the calibrator and the DMM from the device.
