1.
Disconnect all equipment from the output of the PXIe-4137.
2.
Measure the internal device temperature and perform self-calibration if necessary.
a)
If the internal device temperature exceeds T
cal
±1 °C, wait up to five minutes for the
temperature to stabilize to within T
cal
±1 °C.
b)
If after five minutes the stable temperature still exceeds T
cal
±1 °C, call the self-
calibration VI or function.
3.
Take a current measurement using the PXIe-4137.
4.
Record the value from the previous step.
5.
Verify that the recorded value falls within the test limits.
6.
If more than one limit range is specified, repeat the previous steps using the values
specified in each limit range.
Verifying Load Regulation
Note
Although load regulation is listed as a typical specification for the
PXIe-4137, verification is required. If the PXIe-4137 fails the load regulation
verification procedure, discontinue use of the device and contact an authorized NI
service representative to request a Return Material Authorization (RMA).
Refer to the following table as you complete the following steps:
