14. Call the niScope Initialize VI to obtain an NI-SCOPE session.
15. Self-calibrate the PXIe-5164 using the niScope Cal Self Calibrate VI.
16. Call the niScope Close VI to close the NI-SCOPE session.
Adjusting 1 M
Ω
Compensation Attenuator
Follow this procedure to adjust the 1 MΩ compensation attenuator of the PXIe-5164.
1.
Connect the calibrator test head to the specified channel of the PXIe-5164.
2.
Call the niHsai Group B External Cal API v1 Host.lvclass:Compensated Attenuator Cal
Initialize VI with the following settings:
•
channel
: The specified channel
•
input impedance
: 1 MΩ
3.
Call the niHsai Group B External Cal API v1 Host.lvclass:Compensated Attenuator Cal
Configure VI to obtain the amplitude and frequency of the square waveform to generate.
Configure the calibrator to output a square waveform with symmetrical polarity and with
the specified amplitude and frequency into 1 MΩ.
4.
Enable the calibrator output if not already enabled.
5.
Wait 1 second for settling.
6.
Call the niHsai Group B External Cal API v1 Host.lvclass:Compensated Attenuator Cal
Adjust VI with the following settings:
•
frequency generated (Hz)
: The frequency of the square waveform present on the
specified channel of the PXIe-5164
•
amplitude generated (Vpk-pk)
: The amplitude of the square waveform present on
the specified channel of the PXIe-5164
7.
Repeat steps 3 through 6 until the
compensated attenuator cal complete
indicator from
the niHsai Group B External Cal API v1 Host.lvclass:Compensated Attenuator Cal
Adjust VI returns TRUE.
8.
Disable the calibrator output.
Return to the main
task.
Adjusting 1 M
Ω
DC Reference
Follow this procedure to adjust the DC gain and offset of the 1 MΩ DC reference of the
PXIe-5164.
Caution
Avoid touching the connections when generating a high voltage from the
calibrator.
1.
Connect the calibrator test head to the specified channel of the PXIe-5164.
2.
Call the niHsai Group B External Cal API v1 Host.lvclass:DC Reference Cal Initialize VI
with the following settings:
•
channel
: The specified channel
•
input impedance
: 1 MΩ
3.
Call the niHsai Group B External Cal API v1 Host.lvclass:DC Reference Cal Configure
VI to obtain the DC voltage to generate and configure the calibrator to output the
specified DC voltage into 1 MΩ.
