AO Flatness Verification
Complete the following procedure to verify the AO flatness.
1.
Connect channel AO 0 of the NI PXIe-4463 to the DMM using the cables recommended in
Table 1.
2.
Use the information in Table 6 to configure the DMM.
3.
Generate a waveform with the NI PXIe-4463.
a.
Configure an AO voltage channel task using the values in Table 11.
b.
Call
DAQmx Channel Property Node
, and set the AO Idle Output Behavior
property (
Analog Output»General Properties»Output Configuration»Idle
Output Behavior
) to
Zero Volts
.
c.
Call
Basic Function Generator
using the parameters in Table 12.
d.
Write the resulting waveform to AO, and start the task.
4.
Measure the output voltage with the DMM and record for future calculations.
