Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the NI 9775 meets

published specifications.

• Keep connections to the NI 9775 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 NI 9775 are secure.

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

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes to ensure that the NI 9775 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

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

3. Install the module in slot 8 of the cDAQ-9178 chassis. Leave slots 1 through 7 of the

cDAQ-9178 chassis empty.

4. Connect the cDAQ-9178 chassis to your host computer.

5. Connect the power source to the 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.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9775 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 You must remove and re-insert the module from the chassis before running

verification.

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

Worldwide Support and Services 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 9775 installed in slot 8 of an cDAQ-9178 chassis

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

Note The test limits listed in NI 9775 Verification Limits for DC Accuracy table are

derived using the values in the following table.
