Software

Calibrating the PXIe-4310 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx on the calibration system.

Driver support for calibrating the PXIe-4310 was first available in NI-DAQmx 17.1. For the list

of devices supported by a specific release, refer to the NI-DAQmx Readme, available on the

version-specific download page or installation media.

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.

PXIe-4310 Calibration Procedure |© National Instruments |5

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the PXIe-4310 meets

published specifications.

• Review and become familiar with the entire procedure before beginning the calibration

process.

• Keep connections to the PXIe-4310 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-4310 (10V) are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the TB-4310 (10V). Use twisted-pair

wire to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.

• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ±5 °C. The PXIe-4310 temperature will be

greater than the ambient temperature.

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• For valid test limits, maintain the device temperature within ±1 °C from the last

self-calibration and ±10 °C from the last external calibration. The device temperature will

be greater than the ambient temperature. Refer to the Checking Device Temperature

Changes section for more information about verification and adjustment temperatures and

temperature drift.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes to ensure that the PXIe-4310 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 at ni.com/manuals.

Initial Setup

Refer to the PXIe-4310 and TB-4310 (10V)/TB-4310 (600V) Getting Started Guide and

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

and how to configure the device in NI 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. This

document uses Dev1 to refer to the device name. In the following procedures, use the

device name as it appears in MAX.

Self-Calibration

A self-calibration must be performed before performing device verification. Perform a

self-calibration after the device has warmed up for the recommended time period of 15 minutes.

You can initiate self-calibration using MAX, by completing the following steps.

1. Launch MAX.

2. Select My System»Devices and Interfaces»PXIe-4310.

6|ni.com |PXIe-4310 Calibration Procedure

3. Initiate self-calibration using one of the following methods:

•ClickSelf-Calibrate in the upper right corner of MAX.

• Right-click NI PXIe-4310 and select Self-Calibrate from the drop-down menu.

Note Once self-calibration is completed, maintain the device temperature within

±1 °C of the self-calibration temperature.

Note NI recommends self-calibrating using MAX, although you can also

self-calibrate programmatically.

Checking Device Temperature Changes

Device temperature changes (greater than ±10 °C since the previous external calibration or

greater than ±1 °C since the previous self-calibration) can cause you to incorrectly verify and

adjust your device. After self-calibrating your device as described in the Self-Calibration

section, complete the following steps to compare the current device temperature to the

temperatures measured during the last self-calibration and external calibration in MAX.

1. Launch MAX.

2. Select My System»Devices and Interfaces»PXIe-4310.

3. Click the Settings tab. Temperature information is displayed in the Self-Calibration and

External Calibration sections of the Settings tab.

Accuracy Verification

This section provides instructions for verifying the PXIe-4310 specifications.

Throughout the verification process, use Table 4 to determine if your device needs to be

adjusted.

Since PXIe-4310 modules have many different ranges, you must check measurements for each

available range. You must perform verification on all ranges of all analog input channels of

PXIe-4310 modules in differential mode.

Note The test limits used in this document assume a maximum temperature drift of

±10 °C from the last external calibration, and a maximum temperature drift of ±1 °C

from the last self-calibration. Refer to the Checking Device Temperature Changes

section for more information and instructions on reading your device temperature and

comparing it against the device temperature during the last external calibration.

Complete the following steps to verify the analog input:

Note The TB-4310 (600V) cannot be used for verification or adjustment of the

PXIe-4310.

1. Connect the output of the calibrator to the TB-4310 (10V) as shown in Figure 1.

2. Connect the TB-4310 (10V) to the PXIe-4310.

PXIe-4310 Calibration Procedure |© National Instruments |7

Table 4 shows all acceptable values for the PXIe-4310. NI recommends that you verify all

ranges.

3. Set the calibrator voltage to the test value indicated in Table 4.

4. Create and configure a DAQmx task using the settings in Table 3. Set the range

corresponding to the selected test value from Table 4.

5. Start the acquisition.

6. Average the voltage values that you acquired.

7. Compare the resulting average to the upper and lower limits listed in Table 4. If the result

is between these values, the device passes the test.

8. Clear the acquisition task.

9. For each value in Table 4 repeat steps 3 through 8.

10. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.

You have finished verifying the analog input specification on your device.

Note If verification results are within the 24-Hour Limits listed in Table 4 an

adjustment is not required, but is still recommended. If you do not want to perform

an adjustment, you can update the calibration date without making any adjustments

by initializing an external calibration and closing the external calibration.

Adjustment

Following the adjustment procedure automatically updates the calibration date and temperature,

and adjusts the analog input calibration constants and stores them in the EEPROM of the

PXIe-4310.

Complete the following steps to perform device adjustment using a calibrator:

1. Connect the output of the calibrator to the TB-4310 (10V) as shown in Figure 1.

2. Set your calibrator to output a voltage of 7.5 V.

3. Open an external calibration session on your device using the DAQmx Initialize External

Calibration function with the following parameters:

5. Save the adjustment constants to the EEPROM, using the DAQmx Close External

Calibration function with the following parameters:

calHandle: calHandle

action: DAQmx_Val_Action_Commit

This function also saves the date, time, and temperature of the adjustment to the onboard

memory.

Note If an error occurs during adjustment, no constants will be written to the

EEPROM.

6. Place the calibrator in Standby.

7. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.

The device is now adjusted with respect to your external source.

Reverification

Repeat the Accuracy Verification section using the 24-Hour Limits in Table 4 to determine the

as-left status of the device.
