  • Page 4: Test Conditions

    • The PXIe-5413 is warmed up for 15 minutes at ambient temperature. Warm up begins after the chassis is powered and the PXIe-5413 is recognized by the host and configured using NI-FGEN. • All test instruments are warmed up for at least the period of time stated in the documentation for each instrument and self-calibration is performed.
