Software Requirements

Calibrating the NI cDAQ chassis requires installing the latest NI-DAQmx driver on the calibration

system. You can download the NI-DAQmx instrument driver from ni.com/downloads. NI-DAQmx

supports programming an External Calibration in the LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, C/C++, C#, and

Visual Basic .NET. application development environments (ADEs). When you install NI-DAQmx, you

only need to install support for the ADE that you intend to use.

Documentation Requirements

For information about NI-DAQmx and NI cDAQ chassis, you can consult the following documents:

•DAQ Getting Started guides—These guides provide instructions for installing and configuring

NI-DAQ devices.

•NI DAQmx Help—This help file contains general information about measurement concepts, key

NI-DAQmx concepts, and common applications that apply to all programming environments.

•NI-DAQmx C Reference Help—This help file contains C reference and general information about

measurement concepts.

The documents above are installed with NI-DAQmx. You also can find the latest versions of the

documentation at ni.com/manuals.

•NI cDAQ-91xx User Guide and Specifications—This document includes detailed information

about your NI cDAQ chassis and provides the published specification values for NI cDAQ chassis.

Refer to the most recent User Guide and Specifications online at ni.com/manuals for

specifications.

•NI cDAQ-9188 Ethernet Chassis Quick Start—This document explains how to install the

application and NI-DAQmx driver software, set up your NI cDAQ-9188 Ethernet chassis and

I/O modules, confirm the system is operating properly, and take your first measurement. You can

find this document at ni.com/manuals.

Calibration Interval

National Instruments recommends a calibration interval of one year for the NI cDAQ chassis. Adjust the

recommended calibration interval based on the measurement accuracy demands of your application.

Test Equipment

National Instruments recommends that you use the equipment in Table 1 for calibrating an NI cDAQ

chassis.

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the NI cDAQ chassis meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the C Series module as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as

antennae, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 ±5 °C. The device temperature will be greater than the

ambient temperature.

• Keep relative humidity below 90%.

• Allow a warm up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the measurement circuitry is at a stable

operating temperature.

Calibration Procedures

The calibration process includes the following steps:

1. Initial Setup—Install the device and configure it in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

2. Verification—Verify the existing operation of the device. This step confirms whether the device is

operating within the published specifications prior to adjustment.

3. Adjustment—If the device does not fall within the desired specifications, return the device to NI for

repair. Refer to Where to Go for Support for assistance in returning the chassis to NI.

4. Reverification—Repeat the verification procedure to ensure that the device is operating within the

published specifications after adjustment.

The first two procedures are described in more detail in the following sections.

Initial Setup

Refer to the DAQ Getting Started guides for instructions on installing the software, hardware, and

configuring the NI cDAQ chassis. NI cDAQ-9188 users should refer to the NI cDAQ-9188 Ethernet

Chassis Quick Start.

Verification

This section provides instructions for verifying the counter on an NI cDAQ chassis.

1. Connect the counter to the C Series digital I/O module. Refer to Figure 1 for a connection diagram

of the NI 9401 and NI 9402.

a. Connect the positive input of the counter to DIO 0 on the C Series module.

b. Connect the negative input of the counter to COM or GND on the C Series module.

Figure 1. NI 9401 and NI 9402 Pin Assignments

2. Create and configure a counter output channel according to Table 2.

3. Start the generation of a square wave.

4. Configure the counter to measure frequency and use a 1 MΩ impedance.

5. Take a measurement of the square wave.

6. Compare the counter reading to the limits in Table 3.

7. Stop the generation.

8. Clear the generation.

9. Disconnect the counter from the C Series module.

The counter on the NI cDAQ chassis is now verified.
