8.
Update the output calibration constants by configuring and calling the niDCPower Cal
Adjust Current Limit VI or
niDCPower_CalAdjustCurrentLimit
function.
a)
Input the calculated shunt current measurements as the
measured outputs
.
b)
Input the test points as the
requested outputs
.
c)
Input the specified level range as the
range
.
9.
If more than one level range is specified, repeat the previous steps using the values
specified in each level range.
Adjusting 1 A and 3 A Current Output and Measurement
Compare a set of measured currents reported by the PXIe-4139 to the currents measured by a
DMM.
Complete this procedure only after successfully completing all previous adjustment
procedures. Adjust ranges in the specified order.
Refer to the following table as you complete the following steps.
