9.
Configure the calibrator to output a DC voltage. Table 2 shows the test point values.
10. Create an AI voltage channel with an input range of ±10 V for one channel on the SCXI-1503.
11. Configure the SCXI-1503 input channel for a finite acquisition with a sample rate of 1000 Hz and
1000 samples per channel.
12. Use DAQmx properties to set a gain of 1.
13. Use DAQmx properties to read the DAQ device scaling coefficients. E Series have two scaling
coefficients while M Series and X Series have four scaling coefficients. Record the first two scaling
coefficients and save the values as
b
0
and
b
1
.
14. Start the task to set the channel MUX to the specified channel.
15. Use the saved device scaling coefficients from the DAQ device,
a
0
and
a
1
from step 7, and the
combined DAQ device and SCXI-1503 module,
b
0
and
b
1
from step 13, to compute the device
scaling coefficients for just the SCXI-1503,
c
0
and
c
1
.
16. Configure the DMM to measure voltage at the CB-50 outputs and take a measurement.
