Software The SCXI-1102/B/C calibration procedure requires the NI-DAQmx driver. NI recommends using the latest driver that supports both your development environment and the SCXI-1102/B/C. NI-DAQmx includes high-level function calls to simplify the task of writing software to calibrate devices. -
Page 3: Documentation
SCXI modules, refer to the SCXI Quick Start Guide. Calibration Interval Calibrate the SCXI-1102/B/C at a regular interval as defined by the measurement accuracy requirements of your application. NI recommends that you perform a complete calibration at least once every year. You can shorten this interval based on the accuracy requirements of your application. -

• Keep relative humidity below 80%. • Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes for the SCXI-1102/B/C and 30 minutes for the DAQ device to ensure that the measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature. SCXI-1102/B/C Calibration Procedure... -

Make sure all components involved in the calibration procedure are powered off. Assemble the SCXI-1102/B/C, SCXI chassis, terminal blocks, and DAQ device as shown in Figure 1. You must cable the SCXI-1102/B/C directly to the DAQ device. © National Instruments... - Page 6 When you configure a device in MAX, the device is assigned a device identifier. In this calibration document, the functions used for demonstrating the calibration process use the device identifiers Dev1 for the DAQ device and SC1Mod1 for the SCXI-1102/B/C.

Page 7: Verification Procedure
You can use this information to select the appropriate calibration interval for your application. The SCXI-1102/B/C stores gain and offset calibration constants for each gain setting per analog input channel. A complete verification of the inputs involves measuring the accuracy at all possible gain settings on all channels of the SCXI-1102/B/C. - Page 8 If you are not using the recommended SCXI-1300, refer to Table 8 for the front signal pin assignments of the SCXI-1102/B/C. If the calibration signal source is floating, connect AI – to the SCXI chassis ground using the ground lug available on the SCXI terminal block.
