Software

Install NI-DAQmx 9.1 or later on the calibration computer. NI-DAQmx includes high-level

function calls to simplify the task of writing software to calibrate modules. You must have the

proper module driver installed on the calibration system before calibrating the module.

Note NI recommends that you install the NI-DAQmx driver software before

physically installing the PXIe-4330/4331. NI-DAQmx, available at ni.com/

downloads, configures and controls the PXIe-4330/4331.

NI-DAQmx supports a number of programming languages, including LabVIEW,

LabWindows™/CVI™, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET.

Documentation

The following documents are your primary references for writing your calibration utility with

NI-DAQmx. You can download the latest version of these documents from the NI Web site at

ni.com/manuals.

•TheNI SC Express 4330/4331 Installation Guide and Terminal Block Specifications

provides instructions for installing and configuring the NI PXIe-4330/4331 module.

•TheNI PXIe-4330/4331 User Manual describes how to use the NI PXIe-4330/4331.

•TheNI PXIe-4330/4331 Specifications lists the specifications for the NI PXIe-4330/4331.

•TheNI-DAQmx C Reference Help includes information about the functions in the driver.

Calibration Interval

National Instruments recommends a calibration interval of one year for the PXIe-4330/4331.

Adjust and verify the PXIe-4330/4331 at the recommended calibration interval based on the

measurement accuracy demands of your application.

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the NI device meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the module as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as antennae,

picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the module. Use twisted-pair 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 15 minutes to ensure that the measurement circuitry is at

a stable operating temperature.

• Ensure that the PXI Express chassis fan speed is set to HIGH, that the fan filters are clean,

and that the empty slots contain filler panels. For more information, refer to the Maintain

Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users document available at ni.com/manuals.

• Warm-up time for test equipment may vary depending on the manufacturer. Please refer to

the equipment’s Operators Manual for specified warm-up time.

• To meet Fluke 5520A specifications, zero the Calibrator every 7 days, or when the

Calibrator ambient temperature changes by more than 5 °C. Warm-up time for Fluke 5520A

is 30 minutes.

Calibration Procedure

This section provides instructions for verifying the performance of the PXIe-4330/4331.

The calibration process consists of the following steps:

1. Initial Setup—Install the module and configure it in Measurement & Automation Explorer

(MAX).

2. Verification Procedures—Verify the existing operation of the module. This step confirms

whether the module is operating within the published specifications—gain accuracy, input

offset, shunt quarter-bridge calibration, shunt calibration resistance, and excitation—prior

to adjustment.

3. Gain and Offset Adjustment Procedure—If necessary, perform an external calibration that

adjusts the module calibration constants with respect to a known calibration source.

4. Reverification—Repeat the verification procedure to ensure that the module is operating

within the published specifications after adjustment.

PXIe-4330/4331 Calibration Procedure |© National Instruments |5

Initial Setup

You must configure the module in MAX to communicate with NI-DAQmx.

Complete the following steps to configure a module in MAX. Refer to the

NI SC Express 4330/4331 Installation Guide and Terminal Block Specifications for complete

installation instructions.

1. Install the NI-DAQmx, 9.1 or later, driver software.

Caution Always have the PXI Express chassis turned off when inserting a module.

2. Insert the module into an available slot in the PXI Express chassis.

3. Power on the chassis.

4. Launch MAX.

5. Expand Devices and Interfaces to confirm that MAX detects the module.

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

properly.

Note When a module is configured with MAX, it is assigned a module name. Each

function call uses this module name to determine which DAQ module to calibrate.

This document uses Dev1 to refer to the module name. In the following procedures,

use the module name as it appears in MAX.

Connecting the Equipment

The CAL-4330 and two switch modules provide the ability to programmatically connect the

required module connections as needed for the various verification and calibration steps.

Refer to the specific verification or calibration procedure section for information describing the

required switch connections. Detailed connection paths for each of the verification calibration

steps are shown in Appendix A: Connection Path Details. Before connecting or disconnecting

the calibrator from the module, always set the calibrator to standby mode (STBY).
