PXI-4204 External calibration

I’m looking for the external calibration procedure for a PXI-4204 card. Also is there a way to do the calibration with Calibration Executive?
Dan

Hey Dan,
Unfortunately we do not offer a customer external calibration procedure for the PXI-4204; the card must be sent in to National Instruments for external calibration. The price list for external calibration is located here.

Should NI show external calibration temperature in MAX

We are trying to determine whether or not NI should continue displaying the external calibration device temperature (see screen shot below) in MAX. Is the external calibration temperature useful information that you use to help make decisions, or is it confusing and probably should be removed.
I would appreciate any input on the manner.

Some devices have significant drift due to temperature changes, yet we only calibrate at a given temperature. Take the case of an NI-4071 DMM (7.5 digits of precision). If you calibrate at 40 degrees but you use at 50 degrees, you will want to re-calibrate at something closer to that even if the calibration is still valid time-wise.
So yes, I think there's value in displaying it, at least for some devices.

External Calibration halts on error 200546

For sure there are bogus stored temperature values in memory (impossible for the card to actually have measured a 97°C internal temperature) so I have reson to believe the rest of the stored data-including cal constants--are also corrupt. An External Calibration will overwrite these values with new data IF the program will continue past the error. Is it possible to ignore the error and let the program continue?
The card in question is a PCI-6052E. It passes Self Test but fails Self Calibration. It is completely functional except for a -.1V offset on all analog inputs.

After reading through the previous posts I may have a suggestion that could work for you. You have mentioned several times that the values are only off by a -.1V. Is this consistent and constant? If the the error is linear could you apply a linear adjustment to the received values post recording? You have stated that the device works in all respects except for this slight calibration. I am sorry that you have had this trouble, other then sending the card in for inspection and testing through the RMA there is nothing else that can be done. I do not believe that somehow bypassing the error that you are receiving will fix the issue but you may be able to calibrate the received data by taking data with a card that is calibrated and the card that is not and developing a calibration table that could be used to adjust the values that are being measured. Other then that or sending the card in for an RMA there is nothing else that I can recommend that you do. Have a good day.

External Calibration a PXI783x series FPGA board

Good Morning All,
Have any of you any experience with performing an external calibration on a PXI783x series FPGA board. There is an NI-RIO utility to do a self calibration, but we will need to figure a means of do a calibration to an external NIST traceable standard.
Thanks,

The only way, at this time, to get external calibration is by sending the board to National Instruments. Unlike Data Acquisition boards there is no way for users to externally calibrate. If you would like to set that up, call in to support and we can get begin that process.

External calibration..

hi guru,
Boss can any one tell me the Exact process of EXTERNAL CALIBRATION in SAP PM???
thanks you

Hi Ronak,
Please search in previous threads before posting an issue.It will save your time also.Refer the thread below.
inspection of equipments
Please follow below steps for for external calibration
For external calibration do following steps :
1) Create general task list for external calibration Equipment (IA11,IA01,IA05)
2) Create single cycle plan (IP41)
3) Schedule the maintenance plan (IP10)
4) Generation of Inspection lot and Purchase Requisition (IW32 / QA32)
5) Create Service Purchase Order from Purchase Requisition.(ME21N)
6) Confirm service entry sheet (ML81N)
7) Process inspection lot and UD (QA32)
8) Settlement of Calibration Order (KO88)
9) Business Completion / Close order (IW32)
You can use PM03 control key.

PXI-5122 External Sample Clock

PXI-1031 Chassis

PXI-5122 14bit 100MS/s Digitizer
Labview 8.5
I am driving X-Y mirrors steering a laser.
I am measuring the reflected light
to develop a raster image of a sample.
I have a pixel clock running at 60MHz that
I want to clock the acquistion and external
trigger that defines the 'line valid' or sampling
across the mirrors during their constant velocity
range.
I am using [PFI0 with 'READY for START EVENT'] as
a start pulse to run my x-y mirror scan.
CH0: Analog signal
SMA TRIG: line valid
AUX: PFI0 with 'READY for START EVENT'
In the property node 'niScope'
when I add the following elements:
Sample Clock Timebase Source = VAL_NO_SOURCE
Sample Clock Timebase Rate = 60000000
Sample Clock Timebase Divisor = 1
I get the following message:
Error -1074118614 occurred at Error occurred at: niScope Fetch Binary 16.vi:2
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA402A)
An acquisition has not been initiated.

I get the above errors even when I set the 'Sample Clock Timebase Source'

It appears, by just adding the elements, it gives me the error(s).
How can I get the external sampling clock to work along with external trigger?
Solved!

Hi csk,
I was wondering if you could clarify how many
samples you wish to take. Am I correct that you wish to take 30,000
sets of 150 samples each, or do you mean you want to take 150 sets of
30,000 samples each (since 30,000 periods of the 60 MHz clock fits
within 90% of a 1.8kHz signal)? In either case, the current method you
are using is only going to acquire a single record each time through
the loop, and so you will be limited by how fast you can retrigger in
software.
For your application, it sounds like you will
need to perform a multi-record acquisition, as this will allow you to
specify what condition to trigger off of and how many samples to
acquire each time the trigger occurs. In this way, each "transition" of the sawtooth wave is considered a single record, and you are acquiring multiple different records corresponding to each time a rising edge trigger occurs. I believe that you can accomplish
exactly what you need with only a slight modification to the niScope
shipping example "niScope EX Multi Record Fetch More Than Available
Memory.vi" (found at Start » Programs » National Instruments » NI-SCOPE
» Examples). With this VI, you can specify that you wish each record to
have a min record length of 30,000 samples (or 150 samples if this is
the case) and that you wish to acquire 150 records (or 30,000 if this
is the case). The only major change that you would need to make is to
change the Configure Trigger VI to be a Digital Edge trigger rather
than an analog trigger. With this and a few other modifications (ie -
configuring the external clock) you should be able to accomplish what
you need. Please let me know if I explained this alright and if my
assumptions are correct. Thanks, and best of luck!

NI PXI-785XR C calibration drivers

Hi!
I'm deploying a calibration program for NI PXI-7853R boards in Visual Studio with C drivers.
I found a C library with .dll converted functions from LabVIEW when I installed niRIO driver but when I call "AdjustExtCalibration" function in C, I don't know what parameter should I enter as "(uint16_t) Action", I suposse that some define exists in a library to enter the action but I can't find it.
Thanks for your Help

Hello Marton,
I have searched our internal database for similar cases and almost all of them ended in sending back the device to NI for repairs.
Best regards,

Use of PXI 4070 for calibration with CalExec

I am running CalExec 3.1
NI 5421 and 5422 cards need the DMM NI PXI-4070 for the calibration. Can I use HP 34401A instead of that?
Thankyou,
Poornima

Hi Poornima,
Yes you can use the 34401a. Test Exec uses IVI so you can choose which IVI device you wish to use.
Hope this helps,

What causes Run Time Error 10086 when attempting an external calibration with the Calibrate_E_Series funcition.

I am using Vb6(sp5), NT4, Component Works (latest), and Ni-Daq 6.9.1. The error occurs when using either a PXI-6052E or PXI-6070E. The Self Cal works fine but the external cal code generates this error during the call. The code used is taken directly from the programming example in the NI_DAQ programmers reference for the Calibrate_E_Series function.
The Error Text is:
Run-time error '10086':
The external reference is invalid

John;
I found a Knowledge Base about that error you can refer to. The KB, originally, talks about Labview, but, as Labview makes NI-DAQ function calls in the same way any other Software language, you can apply the same concepts when using VB. The link is:
http://ae.natinst.com/operations/ae/public.nsf/fca7838c4500dc10862567a100753500/2d8abbbb8d45ff74862565f6005c8d7b?OpenDocument

To what limits (lower and upper) are the PXI-6052E boards calibrated for their various gain settings?

I am trying to get some boards calibrated by our metrology lab, but I can't find the relevant information.

I've viewed all, and downloaded most, info at the link that you've mentioned. Unfortunately, the data I'm looking for isn't there. In the E Series Calibration Procedure document, there is an extensive listing of tables that contain calibration data points for a variety of E series boards. However, the 6052E board isn't listed. Elsewhere on the ni website, there is a note to use the 6034E/6035E tables for the 6052E boards. These tables do not contain all the gain settings for the 6052E. I would assume that the 6052E boards were factory calibrated at all possible gain combinations.

W520 External Color Calibrator stopped working with updated Pantone v1.1 software

Can someone from Lenovo help me with this issue? Lenovo updated the color calibrator software in Aug 2012. They broke an external color calibrator working. L1/2 has been completely unhelpful. I also escalated to customer service with little result except that they say it is not Lenovo software and they do not have to support it! Unacceptable, the software isprovided by Lenovo. Lenovo doc also says an external color calibrator is supported. Lenovo needs to take responsibility for fixing this. Here are the email chains. I really want a refund or someone to ensure this package that Lenovo distributes is fixed!

I am getting the runaround!!!
Hi Doris,
I just left you a voice mail. One of the reasons I bought this laptop was for 3d photography. If I cannot use an external color calibrator and display then the laptop is not fit for purpose for the reasons I bought it. This software is ONLY available from Lenovo. According to Lenovo’s own doc, and the software’s doc, an external color calibrator is SUPPORTED. Lenovo needs to step to the plate and fix this. Not ME. If Lenovo needs to go to Pantone, or x-rite, then they Need to do that. Lenovo provided software that is not available to the public from x-rite or Pantone, and the software is to support Lenovo provided hardware (least so far as the internal calibrator), this software ALSO supports an external calibrator for use with an external display. The software supports both internal and external, and I would like to use my external display for 3d photography. This needs to be fixed please.
What are we going to do to resolve this? At his point of the runaround I’ve been getting I would like a complete refund.
Thanks,
Christopher

Hi Kelli,
As you know the ‘software’ purchase is by virtue of purchasing the laptop with the color calibrator. Are you saying you will refund my cost for the calibrator? I don’t think you quite get how much time I have spent with support with this laptop. I have had multiple issues with the it. The calibrator, failed BT adapter, Sudden Shutdown syndrome (where the machine would just shutoff on its own –well documented in the Lenovo forums and I have at least a dozen emails on this issue) as well as many issues with the Displayport connection and an external 3d display for which I spent months working with Nvidia to resolve. This laptop has wasted a huge amount of my time. The support has been atrocious.
I would like a refund for 1. The laptop 2. The external color calibrator I cannot use because the software from Lenovo does not work (this package is NOT available from x-rite as well –It is sold to Lenovo). I have a receipt for the color calibrator and would be happy to provide that.

Using Calibration Executive for PXI-5610 using PXI-5124

Hi guys,
We've been trying to calibrate PXI-5610 but the Calibration Executive software pop up an error of PXI-5122 requirement but we don't have the module, we have the PXI-5124 instead. We have tried to use the unsupport but it's not working too.
We have found that their resolutions are different

PXI 5122 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/12615
Is this the cause of error? Is it possible to use PXI-5124 instead of PXI-5122?
FYI about our system

PXI-4071 Calibration Date Update

Is there a process to have the internal Calibration Date update [using the Cal Executive software] without running the adjustment-reverify routines?

Hi sbdata,
In general, unless an actual adjustment is performed, then the EEPROM is not written to and the calibration dates will remain the same. That said, if you open an external calibration and then close it, the calibrated date will be set to the current system time.

Calibration of PXI-5695 RF Attenuator

NI PXI-5695 Specifications, RF Attenuator (NI document 375125C-01) indicates a calibration interval 1 year.
1. Is there a published National Instruments calibration procedure for the PXI-5695 RF Attenuator?
2. The PXI-5695's that we have purchased did not come with calibration data or a calibration certificate. Is there an option to purchase the PXI-5695 with calibration data?
Thanks,

Hello Darrow,
There is not a published calibration procedure for the PXI-5695 RF Attenuator. You would need to send in your PXI-5695's to be calibrated by National Instruments. Here is NI's Calibration Services page: http://www.ni.com/services/calibration.htm. If you choose to have your device calibrated, you can choose from several types of calibration reports: http://www.ni.com/services/calibration_compare.htm.
For new devices, NIST certificates are kept in an online searchable database here. National Instruments products are calibrated at manufacturing, so a newly purchased device will be NIST traceable. The certificates are searchable by the serial number of the device. The following link has more details on NIST Traceability Certificates: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3459F092CEDE62C6862575A0006900F6.
Best regards,

PXI-4204 External calibration
