Calibration Interval
The NI 9235/9236 should be calibrated at a regular interval as defined by
the measurement accuracy requirements of your application. National
Instruments recommends that you routinely perform a complete calibration
at least once every year. You can shorten this interval based on the accuracy
demands of your application or requirements of your processes.

Test Equipment
National Instruments recommends that you use the following equipment
for calibrating the NI 9235/9236.
Table 1. Recommended Equipment
Equipment Recommended Model Requirements
Calibrator Fluke 5500A If this instrument is unavailable, use a calibrator with
generation of resistances in the ranges of 108 Ω – 132 Ω
and 315 Ω –385Ω with 0.01 Ω resolution, an accuracy
of at least 90 ppm, and automatic lead wire
compensation.
DMM NI 4070 If this instrument is unavailable, use a multi-ranging
6 1/2 digit DMM with an accuracy of at least 40 ppm.
Chassis NI cDAQ chassis —
Connecting
wires
Test Conditions
— Connections between the module and the calibrator are
insensitive to connection resistance except between the
calibrator LO terminal and the module RC terminal. The
resistance of this connection must be less than 200 mΩ to
limit bridge linearity errors. The verification test limits in
Tables 5 and 6 assume this requirement is met.
Follow these guidelines to optimize the connections and the environment:
• Keep connections to the device as short as possible. Long cables and
wires act as antennae, picking up extra noise that can affect
measurements.
• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the device.
Use twisted-pair wire to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.
• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 ±5 °C. The device temperature
will be greater than the ambient temperature.
• Keep relative humidity below 80%.
• Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the
measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Calibration Procedure
This section provides instructions for verifying the performance of the
NI 9235/9236.
Calibration Process Overview
The calibration process consists of the following steps:
1. Initial Setup—Configure the device in NI-DAQmx.
2. Verification Procedures—Verify the existing operation of the device.
This step confirms whether the device is operating within its specified
range and whether it needs adjustment.
3. Adjustment—If the device does not fall within the desired
specifications, submit the device to NI for a factory calibration to
adjust the calibration constants.
4. Verification Procedures—Perform another verification to ensure that
the device operates within its specifications after adjustment.
The first two steps are explained in the following sections.
Initial Setup
You must configure the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX) to communicate with NI-DAQmx.
Complete the following steps to configure a device in MAX:
1. Install the NI-DAQmx driver software.
2. Make sure that no power is connected to the module terminals. If the
system is in a nonhazardous location, the chassis power can be on
when you install the module.
3. Insert the module into an available slot in the cDAQ chassis.
4. Launch MAX.
5. Right-click the device name and select Self-Test to ensure that the
device is working properly.
Note When a device is configured with MAX, it is assigned a device name. Each function
call uses this device name to determine which DAQ device to calibrate. This document uses
dev1 to refer to the device name. In the following procedures, use the device name as it
appears in MAX.

Connecting the Calibrator to the Module
Complete the following steps to connect the calibrator to the module for
both the measurement accuracy verification and the shunt calibration
verification:
1. Set the calibrator to standby mode (STBY).
2. Connect the AUX LO terminal of the calibrator to the LO terminal of
the calibrator.
3. Using discrete connections, connect the LO terminal of the calibrator
to the AI and RC terminals of the module channel you want to verify.
Leave all other channels unconnected.
Note The three connections to the calibrator LO terminal must be connected at the
calibrator output jack.
Note Ensure that the connection resistance between the calibrator LO terminal and the
module RC terminal meets the requirement listed in Table 1.
4. Connect the HI terminal of the calibrator to the EXC0 terminal of the
module.
5. Connect the AUX HI terminal of the calibrator to the EXC1 terminal
of the module.
Note You do not have to change the EXC terminal connections for each channel you
verify, because the EXC terminals all connect to a common excitation supply inside the
NI 9235/9236.

Verification Procedures
Verification determines how well the device is meeting its specifications.
By completing this procedure, you can see how the device has drifted over
time, which helps you determine the appropriate calibration interval for
your application. The NI 9235/9236 has eight independent analog input
channels. You can conduct verification on any or all of them, depending
upon your desired test coverage.
You can verify the following for NI 9235/9236 modules:
• measurement accuracy
• shunt calibration accuracy
• excitation voltage
Measurement Accuracy Verification
Complete the following steps to test the measurement accuracy of the
device:
1. Zero the calibrator with the ohms-only zero (OHMS ZERO) operation.
2. Set the calibrator output for two-wire compensation (COMP 2-wire).
3. Connect the calibrator to the channel you want to verify, as explained
4. Set the calibrator resistance output to a Calibrator Output value
for the NI 9236.

Refer to the calibrator documentation for more information about
zeroing the calibrator.
This automatically compensates for the lead wire resistance between
the HI terminal of the calibrator and the EXC terminal of the module.

18. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.
Shunt Calibration Accuracy Verification
Complete the following steps to test the shunt calibration accuracy of the
device:
1. Using the DMM and 4-wire resistance measurement connections,
measure the resistance of the wire to be connected between the
calibrator LO terminal and the module RC terminal, and record the
result for later use. You must do this because this connection to the
module creates a lead wire desensitization error. This results in module
readings that are systematically lower than the true shunt calibration
output. Knowing the actual resistance value, however, allows for
compensation of this effect.
2. Set the calibrator output for two-wire compensation (COMP 2-wire).
This automatically compensates for the lead wire resistance between
the HI terminal of the calibrator and the EXC terminal of the module.
3. Connect the calibrator to the channel you want to verify, as explained
in the Connecting the Calibrator to the Module section.
4. Set the calibrator resistance output to 120 Ω

Excitation Voltage Verification
The excitation source of the NI 9235/9236 is common to all eight input
channels so you need to verify excitation voltage on only one channel.
Complete the following steps to verify the excitation voltage:
1. Connect the positive input of the DMM to any EXC terminal of the
module and the negative input of the DMM to any RC terminal of the
module. Leave all other terminals unconnected.
2. Measure the DC voltage and compare it to the Lower Limit and Upper

passes the test.
3. Disconnect the DMM from the device.
