Software

Calibrating the NI 9229/9239 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.5 or later on the

calibration system. You can download NI-DAQmx from ni.com/downloads. NI-DAQmx

supports LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, ANSI C, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual

Basic .NET, and Microsoft Visual C#. When you install NI-DAQmx you only need to install

support for the application software that you intend to use.

Test Equipment

Table 1 lists the equipment recommended for the performance verification and adjustment

procedures. If the recommended equipment is not available, select a substitute using the

requirements listed in Table 1.

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the NI 9229/9239

meets published specifications.

picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Verify that all connections to the NI 9229/9239 are secure.

•(NI 9229/9239 with screw-terminal) Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections

to the device.

• Use twisted-pairs wire to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the NI 9229/9239 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9229/9239.

b. Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c. Call the NI 9229/9239 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of

recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9229/9239.

d. Set the calibrator to a reference value determined by the array of recommended

calibration voltages.

e. Set the calibrator to Operate mode (OPR).

f. Call and configure the NI 9229/9239 adjustment function according to Table 13.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9229/9239 internal calibration memory

(EEPROM) is immediately updated.

If you do not want to perform an adjustment, you can update the calibration date and onboard

calibration temperature without making any adjustments by initializing an external calibration,

setting the C Series calibration temperature, and closing the external calibration.

Reverification

Repeat the Verification section to determine the As-Left status of the device.

Note If any test fails Reverification after performing an adjustment, verify that you

have met the Test Conditions before returning your device to NI. Refer to Worldwide

Support and Services for assistance in returning the device to NI.
