Software

Calibrating the NI 9238 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 14.1 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 Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to allow the NI 9238 to meet the

performance levels shown in Table 2:

• Keep connections to the NI 9238 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 9238 are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the NI 9238. 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 9238 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Refer to the NI cDAQ-9174/9178 Quick Start for information about how to install the software

and hardware and how to configure the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9238.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

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

3. Connect the NI cDAQ-9178 to the system safety ground.

a. Attach a ring lug to a 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire.

b. Use the ground screw to connect the ring lug to the ground terminal on the side of the

NI cDAQ-9178.

c. Attach the other end of the wire to the system safety ground.

4. Install the module in slot 8 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis. Leave slots 1 through 7 of the

NI cDAQ-9178 chassis empty.

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

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

7. Launch MAX.

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

properly.

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and test

points required to verify the NI 9238. The verification procedure assumes that the calibration

references have traceable uncertainties that meet the requirements listed in the Test Equipment

section.

Accuracy Verification

Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the NI 9238.

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

2. Connect the NI 9238 to the calibrator, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. NI 9238 Calibration Connections

3. Set the calibrator voltage to a selected Test Point value in Table 2.

A properly functioning NI 9238, when calibrated according to the conditions described in

this document, can be expected to have gain and offset errors within the limits shown.

The following accuracy table is valid for calibration under the following conditions:

• Ambient temperature 23 °C ± 5 °C

• Slot 8 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis is occupied by the NI 9238

• Slots 1 through 7 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis are empty

Note Values in Table 2 should be used for calibration verification only. These

values only apply under the specific calibration conditions described in this

document, and are not to be construed as general operational specifications of the

NI 9238. For operational specifications, refer to the most recent NI 9238 Operating

Instructions and Specifications at ni.com/manuals.

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

5. Acquire and average samples.

a. Create and configure an AI voltage task according to Table 3.

b. Configure the task timing according to Table 4.

c. Start the task.

d. Read samples from the NI 9238.

e. Average the samples.

f. Clear the task.

6. Compare the per-channel averages to the limits in Table 2.

7. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each test point in Table 2.

9. Disconnect the NI 9238 from the calibrator.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9238.

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9238.

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

2. Connect the NI 9238 to the calibrator, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Adjust the NI 9238.

a. Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9238. The default password is NI.

b. Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius using the set temperature C Series

function.

c. Call the NI 9238 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of

recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9238.

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 9238 adjustment function according to Table 5.

Note The module acquisition starts each time the adjust function is called.

g. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

h. Repeat steps d through g for each calibration voltage in the array.

i. Close the calibration session.

j. Clear the task.

4. Disconnect the NI 9238 from the calibrator.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9238 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.
