Software

Calibrating the NI 9247 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 15.1 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 9246/9247

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 °C ± 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 9246/9247 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9246/9247.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

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

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

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

b. Connect the ring lug to the ground terminal on the side of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis

using the ground screw.

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 Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

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

properly.

Verification

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

points required to verify the NI 9246/9247 and 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 9246/9247.

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

2. Connect the NI 9246/9247 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Accuracy Verification Connections

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

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

5. Wait at least 45 seconds for the signal to settle.

6. Acquire samples from each channel.

a. Create and configure an AI current task on the NI 9246/9247 according to Table 2.

b. Configure the AI current task according to Table 3.

c. Start the task.

d. For the maximum Test Point calculate and record the AC magnitude for each channel

on the NI 9246/9247. NI recommends using the Extract Single Tone Information VI

to calculate the magnitude. For the minimum test point average the value and record

the result.

Note The output magnitude of the Extract Single Tone Information is in Apk. To

convert to RMS, use the following equation:

e. Stop and clear the task.

7. Compare the average for each channel to the limits in Table 4.

Note The test limits listed in Table 4 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 specification of the

NI 9246/9247. For operation specification, refer to the most recent NI 9246

Datasheet and NI 9247 Datasheet at ni.com/manual.

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

9. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each test point listed in Table 4.

10. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.

Adjustments

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9246/9247.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9246/9247.

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

2. Connect the NI 9246/9247 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

3. Adjust the NI 9246/9247.

a. Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9246/9247. The default password is NI.

b. Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c. Call the NI 9246/9247 DAQmx Get C Series Calibration Adjustment Points function

to obtain an array of recommended calibration current for the NI 9246/9247.

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

calibration currents.

e. Set the calibrator’s output frequency to 55 Hz.

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

g. Wait at least 45 seconds for the signal to settle.

h. Call and configure the NI 9246/9247 adjustment function according to Table 5.

Note To adjust all channels in parallel, use ‘ai0:2’ as the channel name.

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

j. Close and commit the calibration session.

4. Disconnect the NI 9246/9247 from the calibrator.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9246/9247 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.
