ni.com

You have completed verifying the DC current of the NI 4070. Select one of 
the following options:

• If you want to continue verifying other modes, go to th

Verifying AC 

Current

 section.

If you do not want to verify other modes and you are performing a 
post-adjustment verification, go to the 

Completing the Adjustment 

Procedures

 section.

If you do not want to verify any additional modes and you are 
performing a pre-adjustment verification, call 

niDMM_close

 to close 

the session.

Verifying AC Current 

To verify the AC current of the NI 4070, complete the following steps:

1.

Reset the calibrator.

Caution

Step 2 must be performed correctly to avoid shorting on unconnected spade lugs.

2.

Connect the calibration cable assembly with the connector block 
plugged into the NI 4070 and with the spade lugs connected to the 
appropriate binding posts on the calibrator, as described in Figure 
and Table 1.

3.

Connect a banana-to-banana cable or a wire (AWG 

22) between the 

AUX CURRENT

 binding post and the 

SENSE HI

 binding post of the 

calibrator.

4.

Call 

niDMM_reset 

to reset the NI 4070 to a known state. 

5.

Call 

niDMM_ConfigureMeasurement

 with the following 

parameters:

Function

 = 

NIDMM_VAL_AC_CURRENT

Range

 = 

0.01

Resolution

 = 

10e–9

6.

Call 

niDMM_Read

 to configure the NI 4070 for a current mode before 

applying current.

7.

Output 1 mA at 1 kHz on the calibrator with the current output set 
to

AUX

.

8.

Call 

niDMM_Read

. Verify that this measurement falls between the 

limits listed in Table 16.

9.

Output 10 mA at 1 kHz on the calibrator with the current output set 
to

AUX

10. Call 

niDMM_Read

. Verify that this measurement falls between the 

limits listed in Table 16.
