Software

Calibrating the NI 9252 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 19.1 or later on the calibration

system.

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

LabWindows™/CVI™, ANSI C, and .NET. When you install NI-DAQmx, you only need to

install support for the application software that you intend to use.

Documentation

Consult the following documents for information about the NI 9252, NI-DAQmx, and your

application software. All documents are available on ni.com and help files install with the

software.

Test Conditions

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

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the device measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9252.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

2. Make sure that 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 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 procedure describes the sequence of operation and

provides test points required to verify the NI 9252. 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 9252.

NI 9252 Calibration Procedure | © National Instruments | 3

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

2. Connect the NI 9252 to the calibrator as shown in the following figure.

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 voltage to a Test Point value indicated in the NI 9252 Verification Test

Limits table.

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

5. Acquire and average samples.

a) Create and configure an AI voltage channel according to the following NI 9252 AI

Voltage Task table.

b) Configure the AI voltage channel timing according to the following NI 9252 Task

Timing table.

c) Set the filter frequency to 3125 Hz using the Channel Property (Analog Input»

General Properties»Digital Filter»Notch»Center Frequency).

d) Start the task.

e) Read the samples from the NI 9252.

f) Average the samples.

g) Clear the task.

6. Compare the averaged samples to the limits in the NI 9252 Verification Test Limits table

to verify the input accuracy. If the values are within these limits, the device passes the

test.

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

8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each test point in the NI 9252 Verification Test Limits table.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9252.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9252.

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

2. Connect the NI 9252 to the calibrator as shown in the Accuracy Verification section.

3. Adjust the NI 9252.

a) Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9252. The default password is NI.

b) Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c) Call the NI 9252 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of

recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9252.

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

calibration voltages.

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

f) Call and configure the NI 9252 adjustment function according to NI 9252

Note The module acquisition is started each time the adjust function is

called. There is a delay of approximately 550 µs from the acquisition start

until module data becomes available.

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

h) Repeat steps d through g for each point in the array.

i) Close the calibration session.

j) Clear the task.

4. Disconnect the NI 9252 from the calibrator.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9252 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 the

Worldwide Support and Services section for assistance in returning the device to NI.

Accuracy under Calibration Conditions

The values in the following table are based on calibrated scaling coefficients, which are stored

in the onboard EEPROM.

The following accuracy table is valid for calibration under the following conditions:

• Ambient temperature 23 °C ± 5 °C

• NI 9252 installed in slot 8 of an NI cDAQ-9178 chassis

• Slots 1 through 7 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis are empty
