Software

Calibrating the NI PXIe-4322 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.7 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 ADE that you intend to use.

NI PXIe-4322 Calibration Procedure |© National Instruments |5

Each channel consists of two terminal connections specific to that channel as shown in Table 2

and must be verified and adjusted individually. Do not make serial or parallel connections for

verification or adjustment.

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the NI PXIe-4322

meets published specifications.

• Keep connections to the NI PXIe-4322 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 TB-4322 are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the TB-4322. Use twisted-pairs wire

to eliminate noise.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.

• The NI PXIe-4322 temperature will be greater than the ambient temperature.

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes to ensure that the NI PXIe-4322 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.

Initial Setup

Refer to the NI PXIe-4322 and TB-4322 Installation Guide and Terminal Block Specifications

for information about how to install the software and hardware and how to configure the device

in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

Note When a device is configured with MAX, it is assigned a device identifier.

Each function call uses this identifier to determine which DAQ device to verify or,

verify and adjust.

Verification

The following performance verification procedures describe the sequence of operation and

provide test points required to verify the NI PXIe-4322. The verification procedures assume that

adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.

The NI PXIe-4322 has eight independent isolated analog output channels. Each channel can be

configured as voltage output mode or current output mode. You can verify either voltage or

current for any or all of the channels depending upon your desired test coverage.

Voltage Output Mode Accuracy Verification

Complete the following procedure to verify the voltage mode accuracy of the NI PXIe-4322:

1. Connect the DMM to the TB-4322 as shown in Figure 2 for the first channel you want to

verify.

2. Use the information in Table 3 to configure the DMM.
