Software

Calibrating the NI 9225 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™, ANSI C, and .NET. When you install NI-DAQmx, you only

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

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 9225 meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the NI 9225 as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as

antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the NI 9225. Use twisted-pairs wire

to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ±5 °C. The NI 9225 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 9225 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.
