Warm Up the DUT  

Warm up time starts after the installed DUT is powered on in the chassis. 
Warm up time resets after the DUT is removed from the chassis. This DUT 
requires 15 minutes to warm up prior to conducting any tests. 

 

Note  

Observe adequate Warm up time for all components of the calibration 
system. 

Perform Self-Calibration 

Self-calibration should be performed after the DUT has warmed up for the 
recommended time period. This function measures the onboard reference 
voltage of the DUT and adjusts the self-calibration constants to account for 
any errors caused by short-term fluctuations in the environment. 

Complete the following steps to conduct self-calibration using Measurement 
& Automation Explorer (MAX). 

 

Note  

Disconnect all external signals before beginning self-calibration. 

1.

 

Launch MAX. 

2.

 

Select My System»Devices and Interfaces»NI PXIe-4468. 

3.

 

Start self-calibration using one of the following methods: 

4.

 

Click 

Self-Calibrate

 in the upper right corner of MAX.
