Software

Calibrating the NI 9208 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.1 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 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 9208 meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the device 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 device are secure.

• 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 ± 5 °C. The device 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 9208 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9208.

1. Install the NI-DAQmx driver software.

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

3. Install the NI 9208 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 device is working

properly.

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and

provides test points required to verify the NI 9208. 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 9208.

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

2. Connect the NI 9208 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. NI 9208 Pin Assignments

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 current to a Test Point value indicated in Table 4.

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

5. Acquire and average samples.

a. Create an AI current task on the NI 9208 according to Table 2.

1 Connections when using a calibrator with a guard connection.

2 Connections when using a calibrator with no guard connection.

b. Configure the AI current task timing according to Table 3. Set the ADC timing mode

to high-resolution.

c. Start the task.

d. Average the readings.

e. Clear the task.

6. Compare the average to the limits in Table 4.

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

8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 with the ADC timing mode on the NI 9208 set to high-speed.

9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for each test point in Table 4.

10. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.

11. Repeat steps 2 through 10 for each channel on the NI 9208.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9208.

Current Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following steps to adjust the current accuracy of the NI 9208.

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

2. Connect the NI 9208 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

3. Adjust the NI 9208 current accuracy.

a. Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9208. The default password is NI.

b. Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c. Call the NI 9208 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of

recommended calibration currents for the NI 9208.

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

calibration currents.

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

f. Call and configure the NI 9208 gain instance of the adjustment function according to

Table 5.

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

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

i. Disconnect the calibrator from the NI 9208.

j. Call and configure the NI 9208 offset instance of the adjustment function for the

current channel.

k. Close the calibration session.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each channel on the NI 9208.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9208 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.
