NI 4070/4072 Calibration Procedure
You have completed adjusting the AC voltage modes of the NI 4070/4072.
Select one of the following options:
•
If you are performing additional adjustments, refer to the following
sections, as applicable:
–
–
Adjusting Capacitance and Inductance (NI 4072 Only)
Caution
For the NI 4072, adjusting the capacitance and inductance is required. Skipping
this step causes an incorrect adjustment of the device.
•
If you are
not
performing additional adjustments, refer to one of the
following sections:
–
—to verify your new calibration
coefficients before saving them to the EEPROM
–
Completing the Adjustment Procedures
—if you do
not
want to
verify the adjustments you have just made
Adjusting Current Modes
If you do not use the current modes (DC and AC), or the accuracy is
insignificant for your application, you can skip this section and select one
of the following options:
•
If you skip this section and you are calibrating an NI 4072, go to the
Adjusting Capacitance and Inductance (NI 4072 Only)
section.
•
If you skip this section and you want to verify the new calibration
coefficients before saving them to the EEPROM, repeat the
section (except for
).
•
If you skip this section and you do not want to verify the new
calibration coefficients, go to the
section.
To adjust the current modes of the NI 4070/4072, complete the following
steps:
1.
Reset the calibrator.
2.
Fasten the connectors on one end of the Fluke 5440 cable to the
NI 4070/4072
HI SENSE
and
LO
banana plug connectors, and fasten
the connectors on the other end of the cable to the
HI
and
LO
calibrator
binding posts. Figure 4 shows the correct connections. Table 11 lists
the cable connections.
