Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the PXIe-4302/4303

meets published specifications.

• Keep connections to the PXIe-4302/4303 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 TB-4302 are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the TB-4302. Use twisted-pair wire

to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ±5 °C. The PXIe-4302/4303 temperature will be

greater than the ambient temperature.

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes to ensure that the PXIe-4302/4303

measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

• Ensure that the PXI/PXI Express chassis fan speed is set to HIGH, that the fan filters are

clean, and that the empty slots contain filler panels. For more information, refer to the

Maintain Forced-Air Cooling Note to Users document available on ni.com.

Initial Setup

Refer to the NI PXIe-4302/4303 and TB-4302/4302C Installation Guide and Terminal Block

Specifications for information about how to install the software and hardware and how to

configure the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).

Note When a device is configured in MAX, it is assigned a device identifier. Each

function call uses this identifier to determine which DAQ device to verify or to verify

and adjust. This document uses Dev1 to refer to the device name. In the following

procedures, use the device name as it appears in MAX.

Accuracy Verification

The following performance verification procedures describe the sequence of operations and

provides the test points required to verify the PXIe-4302/4303. The verification procedures

assume that adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.

The PXIe-4302/4303 has 32 independent analog input channels. The input range of each channel

can be set to 10 V or 100 mV. You can verify the accuracy of either range for all of the channels

depending upon your desired test coverage.

Complete the following steps to verify the voltage mode accuracy of the PXIe-4302/4303.

1. Set the PXIe-4139 voltage output to zero volts.

2. Connect the PXIe-4139 and PXI-4071 to the TB-4302 as shown in Figure 2.

3. Use Table 3 to configure the PXIe-4139 to output a Test Point value for the appropriate

range shown in Table 6, beginning with the values in the first row.
