Self-calibration measures the onboard reference voltage of the module and adjusts the
self-calibration constants to account for any errors caused by short-term fluctuations in the
environment.
NI recommends that you self-calibrate the PXIe-4310 module after installation and whenever
the ambient temperature changes. Self-calibration should be performed after the module has
warmed up for the recommended time period. Refer to the
PXIe-4310 Specifications
for the
module warm-up time and self-calibration conditions.
You can initiate self-calibration using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), by
completing the following steps.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
Select
My System»Devices and Interfaces»
your module.
3.
Initiate self-calibration using one of the following methods:
•
Click
Self-Calibrate
in the upper right corner of MAX.
•
Right-click the name of the module in the MAX configuration tree and select
Self-Calibrate from the drop-down menu.
Note
You can also programmatically self-calibrate the module with NI-DAQmx, as
described in
Device Calibration
in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW Help
.
Device Pinout
Table 2-2 shows the pinout of the front connector of the PXIe-4310. Refer to the
section for definitions of each signal. Refer to the
PXIe-4310 and
TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) Getting Started Guide and Terminal Block Specifications
for signal locations on the terminal block.
