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
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.

    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.
  • Page 6: Checking Device Temperature Changes

    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.
  • Page 7 Table 4 shows all acceptable values for the PXIe-4310. NI recommends that you verify all ranges. Set the calibrator voltage to the test value indicated in Table 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.
