CALIBRATION PROCEDURE SCXI -1520 This document contains information and step-by-step instructions for calibrating the National Instruments SCXI-1520 module. Equipment and Other Test Requirements This section describes the equipment, software, documentation, and test conditions required for calibrating the SCXI-1520. Test Equipment Calibration requires a high-precision voltage source with at least 50 ppm accuracy, a multiranging 5 1/2 digit digital multimeter (DMM) with 15 ppm accuracy, and a 16-bit data acquisition (DAQ) device. NI recommends the following instruments for calibrating the SCXI-1520. • Calibrator—Fluke 5700A • DMM—NI 4060 or Agilent 34401A • 16-bit DAQ device If these instruments are not available, use the accuracy requirements listed above to select a substitute calibration standard. Note If you do not have custom connection hardware, you need an SCXI-1314 terminal block and a shielded 68-pin connector cable. These components give easy access to the individual pins on the SCXI-1520 front connectors. You also need an SCXI-1349 cable adapter to connect the SCXI-1520 to the DAQ device. Software and Documentation Use the following software and documentation to calibrate the SCXI-1520. You can find them on the NI Web site at ni.com/support. • The latest version of the NI-DAQ driver software • NI-DAQ Function Reference Help ™ all-guides.c om
