Software

Calibrating the NI 9219 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.3 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.

Documentation

Consult the following documents for information about the NI 9219, 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 NI 9219 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 ± 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 9219 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9219.

1. Install the NI-DAQmx driver software.

2. Install the NI 9219 in slot 8 of the NI cDAQ-9178 chassis. Leave slots 1 through 7 of the

NI cDAQ-9178 chassis empty.

3. Launch Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

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

properly.

Verification

This section provides instructions for verifying the NI 9219 specifications. The following

performance verification procedures describe the sequence of operation and test points required

to verify the NI 9219 and assumes that adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the

calibration references.

Caution The analog inputs on the NI 9219 are not grounded (floating). Ensure that

a single point in the test system is connected to ground to prevent the entire system

from floating.

Voltage Accuracy Verification

Complete the following steps to verify the voltage accuracy of an NI 9219.

1. Connect the NI 9219 to the DMM and source as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Voltage Accuracy Verification Connections to the NI 9219

2. Set the source to the appropriate test point value indicated in Table 4. Use the smallest

available range needed to source each test point. Using a range larger than necessary creates

unwanted additional noise.

3. Configure the DMM for a voltage measurement in the lowest appropriate range according

to the test point from Table 4.

4. Enable Auto Zero on the DMM.

5. Acquire a voltage reading with the DMM. Record this measurement as Vref.
