Software

Calibrating the NI 9203 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.2 or later on the calibration

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

LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET. 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 ensure the NI 9203 meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the NI 9203 as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as

antennae, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Verify that all connections to the NI 9203 are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the NI 9203. Use twisted-pairs wire

to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ±5 °C. The NI 9203 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 9203 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9203.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

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

3. Install the module in 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 module is working

properly.

Verification

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

points required to verify the NI 9203 and assumes that adequate traceable uncertainties are

available for the calibration references.

2. Connect the NI 9203 to the calibrator. Refer to Figure 1 for a connection diagram.

Figure 1. Accuracy Connections for the NI 9203

Note If the calibrator outputs are truly floating, connect the negative output to a

quiet earth ground as well as COM to give the entire system a ground reference.

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

4. Set the calibrator current to a Test Point value indicated in Table 4.

5. Acquire and average samples.

a. Create and configure an AI current channel according to Table 2.

b. Configure the AI current channel timing according to Table 3.
