Software Requirements

Calibrating the NI 9220 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.6 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 9220, NI-DAQmx, and your

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

software.

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 9220 meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the NI 9220 as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as

antennae, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Verify that all connections to the NI 9220 are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the NI 9220. 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 NI 9220 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9220.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

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

3. Install the module 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 module is working properly.

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and test

points required to check the NI 9220 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 9220.

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

2. Connect the NI 9220 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Accuracy Verification Connections

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 Table 4.

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

5. Acquire and average samples.

a. Create and configure an AI voltage channel 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 voltage channel timing according to Table 3.

c. Start the task.

d. Read samples from the NI 9220.

e. Average the samples.

f. Clear the task.

6. Compare the average of the samples to the test limits in Table 4.

Note The test limits listed in Table 4 are derived using the values in Table 6.

7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each Test Point in Table 4.

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

9. Disconnect the NI 9220 from the calibrator.

10. Repeat steps 1 through 9 for each channel on the NI 9220.

Adjustment

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9220.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9220.

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

2. Connect the NI 9220 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

3. Adjust the NI 9220.

a. Initialize a calibration session on the NI 9220. The default password is NI.

b. Input the external temperature in degrees Celsius.

c. Call the NI 9220 get C Series adjustment points function to obtain an array of

recommended calibration voltages for the NI 9220.

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 9220 adjustment function according to Table 5.

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

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

i. Close the calibration session.

4. Disconnect the NI 9220 from the calibrator.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each channel on the NI 9220.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9220 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.

Re-Verification

Repeat the Verification section to determine the As-Left status of the device.

Note If any test fails Re-Verification after performing an adjustment, verify that

you have met the Test Conditions before returning your device to NI. Refer to Where

to Go for Support section for assistance in returning the device to NI.
