Connect the calibrator to the appropriate analog input channel, starting with channel 0. Refer to Table 7 to determine the pins on the 96-pin front connector that correspond to the positive and negative inputs of the specified channel. If you are using an SCXI-1304 connected to the SCXI-1141/1142/1143, connect the calibrator to the AI 0 + and AI 0 – inputs and verify that the SCXI-1304 is set to DC coupling. 7. Connect the DMM to the positive output on pin 3 (AI 0 +) and the negative output on pin 4 (AI 0 –) on the rear panel connector, illustrated in Table 8. For easy access to individual pins, use a TBX 50-pin connector block connected as shown in Figure 1. Tip 8. Set the calibrator voltage to the positive test-point value in Table 9. 9. Read the voltage from the DMM. Record the DMM reading as output1, and the calibrator output voltage as volt1, for later use. 10. Set the calibrator to the negative test-point value for the same gain. Skip any input limits that are specified as 0.0 V. You need only upper and lower limits for adjustment. 11. Read the voltage from the DMM. Record the DMM reading as output2, and the calibrator output voltage as volt2. You now have two pairs of data points, (volt1, output1) and (volt2, output2), where volt1 and volt2 are calibrator readings, and output1 and output2 are DMM readings. 12. Convert the DMM voltage readings (output1 and output2) to binary readings (binary1 and binary2) using the following equation: output binary reading for 16-bit E Series products (binary) = ⎛ -----------------⎞ × 2 16 ⎝ 20 ⎠ Note In both of the above equations, output is either output1 or output2. For example, using a 16-bit product such as a NI 6030E and obtaining a DMM reading of –9.90000 V, you get the following results: – 9.90000 16 binary = ⎛ ----------------------⎞ × 2 = – 32440.32 ⎝ 20 ⎠ 13. Record binary1 with volt1, and binary2 with volt2, for later use. 14. Repeat steps 5 through 13 for the remaining gain values you want to measure on this channel. 15.

SCXI-1141/1142/1143 Calibration Procedure 12 ni.com Adjusting Filter AC Gain The AC gain of the filter is independent of the gain of the amplifier, so you can do this procedure with any amplifier gain. Ideally, you set the amplifier gain (Gs) and the amplitude of the sine wave (Vs) so that Vs = 3.4 Vrms/Gs. You can set Vs to a lower amplitude, but not a higher one. To prevent errors due to ripple in the passband, the frequency of the sine wave must be lower than 1/50th of the cutoff frequency. For this procedure, in sections SCXI-1141/1142/1143 Before Revision F or SCXI-1141/1142/1143 Revision F or Later you will set the filters to a cutoff frequency of 25 kHz and use a sine wave of less than 500 Hz.
