Setting Up Your Module
Complete the following steps to set up your module for testing:
1. Install the SCXI-1125 in slot 1 of the SCXI chassis.
2. Connect a 68-to-68-pin cable between the SCXI module and the
E Series DAQ device installed in the host computer.
3. Configure the hardware with Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX). For more information on configuring the system, refer to the
E Series device and SCXI module documentation.
Verifying Gain and Offset Errors
The verification procedure determines how well the SCXI-1125 module is
meeting its specifications. You can use this information to select the
appropriate calibration interval for your application.
Complete the following steps to verify gain and offset errors in the
SCXI-1125:
1. Read the Test Conditions section earlier in this document.
2. Refer to the specifications in Table 1 at the end of this document.
3. Connect the E Series device to the SCXI-1125.
4. Call
