Software

Calibrating the NI 9216/9226 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 14.5 or later on the

calibration system. You can download NI-DAQmx from ni.com/downloads. NI-DAQmx

supports LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, ANSI C, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual

Basic .NET, and Microsoft Visual C#. 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 9216/9226

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 20 °C to 28 °C.

• Keep relative humidity below 80%.

• Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the NI 9216/9226 measurement

circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the NI 9216/9226.

1. Install NI-DAQmx.

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

3. Connect the cDAQ-9178 chassis to the system safety ground.

a. Attach a ring lug to a 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire.

b. Connect the ring lug to the ground terminal on the side of the cDAQ-9178 chassis

using the ground screw.

c. Attach the other end of the wire to the system safety ground.

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

cDAQ-9178 chassis empty.

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

properly.

Verification

The following performance verification procedure describes the sequence of operation and test

points required to verify the NI 9216/9226. The verification procedure assumes that adequate

traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references.

Accuracy Verification

Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the NI 9216/9226.

1. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

2. Connect the desired channel of the NI 9216/9226 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

Connect only one channel at a time.

Figure 1. 4-Wire Resistance Connections

3. Set the calibrator as a resistance source to a Test Point value indicated in Table 2.

4. Set calibrator COMP to 4-wire.

Note The limits are only based on the NI 9216/9226 accuracy. The uncertainty of

calibration standard is not included.

Note The test limits listed in Table 2 are derived using the values in Table 6.

5. Set the calibrator to Operate mode (OPR).

6. Acquire and average samples from one channel.

a. Create and configure a 4-wire AI resistance task on the NI 9216/9226 according to

Table 3.

b. Configure the ADC Timing Mode to High Resolution.

Note Use appropriate channel number in place of “x” in “AIx.” For example, use

AI3 for channel 3.

c. Configure the task timing according to Table 4.

d. Start the task.

e. Read the samples from the NI 9216/9226.

f. Average the samples.

g. Stop and clear the task.

7. Compare the per-channel averages to the limits in Table 2.

8. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 for each test point listed in Table 2.

10. Disconnect the NI 9216/9226 channel from the calibrator.

11. Repeat steps 2 through 10 for any other desired channel of NI 9216/9226.

Adjustments

The following performance adjustment procedure describes the sequence of operation required

to adjust the NI 9216/9226.

Accuracy Adjustment

Complete the following procedure to adjust the accuracy performance of the NI 9216/9226.

1. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).

2. Connect the desired channel of the NI 9216/9226 to the calibrator as shown in Figure 1.

Connect only one channel at a time.

3. Adjust the desired channel of the NI 9216/9226.

EEPROM Update

When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9216/9226 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 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 20 °C to 28 °C

• NI 9216/9226 installed in slot 8 of an cDAQ-9178 chassis

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

Note For operational specifications, refer to the most recent NI 9216 Datasheet or

NI 9226 Datasheet online at ni.com/manuals.
