Software

Calibrating the NI 9263 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.6 or later on the calibration

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

LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, ANSI C, and .NET. When you install NI-DAQmx, you only

need to install support for the application software that you intend to use.

Test Equipment

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

NI 9263. 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 9263 meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the NI 9263 as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as

antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Verify that all connections to the NI 9263 are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the NI 9263. Use twisted-pair wire to

eliminate noise and thermal offsets.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 ± 5 °C. The NI 9263 board temperature will be

greater than the ambient temperature.

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the NI 9263 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9263.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

2. Make sure that the NI cDAQ-9178 power source is not connected.

3. Insert the module into slot 8 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis. Leave slots 1 through 7 of the

NI cDAQ-9178 chassis empty.

4. Connect the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis to your host computer.

5. Connect the power source to the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis.

6. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

7. Right-click the device name and select Self-Test to ensure that the device is working properly.

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and

provides test points required to verify the NI 9263. The verification procedure assumes that

adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.

Accuracy Verification

Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the NI 9263.

1. Set the DMM to Standby mode (STBY).

2. Connect the DMM to the NI 9263 as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Accuracy Verification Connections

3. Set the DMM to read DC voltage in the minimum range required to cover the NI 9263

output range of ±10 V.

4. Acquire a sample

a. Create and configure an AO voltage channel according to Table 2.

b. Start the task.

c. Generate a voltage output according to Table 3.

d. Wait the appropriate time for the DMM measurement to settle.

e. Read the NI 9263 output voltage measurement from the DMM.

f. Clear the task.

5. Compare the DMM measurement to the test limits in Table 4.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each test point in Table 4.

7. Disconnect the DMM from the NI 9263.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for each channel on the NI 9263.

Note The accuracy and test limits of the NI 9263 vary depending on which revision

of the module you are using. If the module was purchased after 2007 use the

Revision E limits. If the module was purchased before 2007 then use the Revision D

limits.

Note Test limits in Table 4 are derived using the values in Table 7.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9263.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9263.

1. Connect the DMM to the NI 9263 as shown in Figure 1.

2. Adjust the NI 9263.

a. Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9263. The default password is NI.

b. Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c. Call the NI 9263 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of

recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9263.

d. Set the DMM to read DC voltage in the minimum range required to cover the NI 9263

output range of ±10 V.

e. Call and configure the NI 9263 setup calibration function with the DAC value

obtained from the array of recommended calibration voltages.

f. Wait the appropriate amount of time for the DMM measurement to settle.

g. Read the NI 9263 output voltage measurement from the DMM.

h. Call and configure the NI 9263 adjustment function according to Table 6.

i. Repeat steps e to h for each calibration voltage in the array.

j. Close the calibration session.

3. Disconnect the DMM from the NI 9263.

4. Repeat step 1 for each channel on the NI 9263.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9263 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.

Accuracy Under Calibration Conditions

The values in the following table are based on calibrated scaling coefficients, which are stored

in the onboard EEPROM.
