Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter describes the SCXI-1122; lists the contents of your SCXI-1122 kit; describes the
optional software, optional equipment, and custom cables; and explains how to unpack the
SCXI-1122.
The SCXI-1122 has 16 isolated input channels and two isolated excitation channels. The
SCXI-1122 is a module for signal conditioning of strain gauges, RTDs, thermistors,
thermocouples, volt and millivolt sources, 4 to 20 mA current sources, and 0 to 20 mA process-
current sources. The SCXI-1122 can operate in two modes–two-wire scan mode with all 16
input channels used for input, or the four-wire scan mode with the eight upper channels
configured as sense leads for connecting inputs and the lower eight channels configured as
current output channels. The SCXI-1122 inputs are multiplexed to a single output, which drives
a single DAQ board channel.
The SCXI-1122 operates with full functionality with the National Instruments MIO-16,
Lab-PC+, and the SCXI-1200 boards. You can use the Lab and PC-LPM-16 boards with the
SCXI-1122, but these boards cannot scan the module. These boards can perform only single-
channel reads. You can multiplex several SCXI-1122s into a single channel, thus greatly
increasing the number of isolated analog input signals that you can digitize.
You can add the SCXI-1322 shielded terminal block, which has screw terminals to which you
can easily attach the input signals to the SCXI-1122. In addition, the SCXI-1322 has a
temperature sensor for cold-junction compensation of thermocouples. This cold-junction
reference (CJR) is multiplexed with the 16 input channels.

Introduction
Chapter 1
Software Programming Choices
There are four options to choose from when programming your National Instruments plug-in
DAQ board and SCXI hardware. You can use LabVIEW, LabWindows, NI-DAQ, or register-
level programming software.
LabVIEW and LabWindows Application Software
LabVIEW and LabWindows are innovative program development software packages for data
acquisition and control applications. LabVIEW uses graphical programming, whereas
LabWindows enhances traditional programming languages. Both packages include extensive
libraries for data acquisition, instrument control, data analysis, and graphical data presentation.
LabVIEW currently runs on three different platforms–AT/MC/EISA computers running
Microsoft Windows, the Macintosh platform, and the Sun SPARCstation platform. LabVIEW
features interactive graphics, a state-of-the-art user interface, and a powerful graphical
programming language. The LabVIEW Data Acquisition VI Library, a series of VIs for using
LabVIEW with National Instruments boards, is included with LabVIEW. The LabVIEW Data
Acquisition VI Libraries are functionally equivalent to the NI-DAQ software.
LabWindows has two versions–LabWindows for DOS is for use on PCs running DOS, and
LabWindows/CVI is for use on PCs running Windows and Sun SPARCstations.
LabWindows/CVI features interactive graphics, a state-of-the-art user interface, and uses the
ANSI standard C programming language. The LabWindows Data Acquisition Library, a series
of functions for using LabWindows with National Instruments boards, is included with
LabWindows for DOS and LabWindows/CVI. The LabWindows Data Acquisition libraries are
functionally equivalent to the NI-DAQ software.
Using LabVIEW or LabWindows software will greatly diminish the development time for your
data acquisition and control application. Part numbers for these software products are as follows:

776141-01
776475-01
776800-01
LabWindows/CVI for Windows
NI-DAQ Driver Software
The NI-DAQ driver software is included at no charge with all National Instruments DAQ boards.
NI-DAQ has an extensive library of functions that you can call from your application
programming environment. These functions include routines for analog input (A/D conversion),
buffered data acquisition (high-speed A/D conversion), analog output (D/A conversion),
waveform generation, digital I/O, counter/timer operations, SCXI, RTSI, self-calibration,
messaging, and acquiring data to extended memory.

Introduction
NI-DAQ also internally addresses many of the complex issues between the computer and the
plug-in board such as programming interrupts and DMA controllers. NI-DAQ maintains a
consistent software interface among its different versions so that you can change platforms with
minimal modifications to your code. Figure 1-1 illustrates the relationship between NI-DAQ and
LabVIEW and LabWindows. You can see that the data acquisition parts of LabVIEW and
LabWindows are functionally equivalent to the NI-DAQ software.

Introduction
Chapter 1
Register-Level Programming
The final option for programming any National Instruments DAQ hardware is to write register-
level software. Writing register-level programming software can be very time consuming and
inefficient, and is not recommended for most users. The only users who should consider writing
register-level software should meet at least one of the following criteria:
•
•
National Instruments does not support your operating system or programming language.
You are an experienced register-level programmer who is more comfortable writing your
own register-level software.
Always consider using NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows to program your National
Instruments DAQ hardware. Using the NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows software is easier
than and as flexible as register-level programming, and can save you weeks of development time.
The SCXI-1122 User Manual and your software manuals contain complete instructions for
programming your DAQ board with NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows. If you are using
NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows to control your board, you should not need the register-
level programmer manual. The SCXI-1122 Register-Level Programmer Manual contains low-
level programming details, such as register maps, bit descriptions, and register programming
hints, that you will need only for register-level programming. Some hardware user manuals
include register map descriptions and register programming hints. If your manual does not
contain a register map description and you want to obtain the register-level programmer manual,
please fill out the Register-Level Programmer Manual Request Form at the end of this manual
and send it to National Instruments.

such damage in handling the module, take the following precautions.
•
•
•
Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded chassis such as your SCXI
chassis.
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your SCXI chassis before removing the
module from the package.
Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for loose components or any
other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the module appears damaged in any
way. Do not install a damaged module into your SCXI chassis.
•
Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

Chapter 2
Configuration and Installation
This chapter describes how to configure the SCXI-1122 jumpers and how to install the
SCXI-1122 into the SCXI chassis.
Module Configuration
The SCXI-1122 contains two jumpers that are shown in the parts locator diagram in Figure 2-1.
Jumper W2 connects a pullup resistor to the SERDATOUT signal on the rear signal connector.
Jumper W1 configures the guard and the analog output ground, and enables the
pseudodifferential reference mode.
You must use software to further configure the module. Refer to your software manuals, or to
the SCXI-1122 Register-Level Programmer Manual if you are a register-level programmer.

Configuration and Installation
Digital Signal Connections
Note: If nothing is cabled to the SCXI-1122 rear signal connector, the position of
jumper W2 is irrelevant.
The SCXI-1122 has one jumper–jumper W2–for communication between the DAQ board and
the SCXIbus, shown in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1. Digital Signal Connection Jumper Settings
Jumper
Description
Configuration
DAQ board to
SCXIbus
communication
Position 1 (pullup)–Use this setting
for a single-chassis system.
Connects a 2.2 kΩ pullup resistor to
the SERDATOUT line. (factory
setting)
W2
Position 3 (unmarked position, no
pullup)–Use this setting for
additional chassis in a multichassis
system. No pullup resistor is
connected to the SERDATOUT line.
If a module is not connected to a DAQ board, the position of W2 is irrelevant. The MISO line
on the SCXI-1122 module is for reading the Module ID Register, the Status Register, and the
EEPROM. National Instruments software does not read the Module ID automatically–you must
indicate to the software which module is in which slot.
An open-collector driver (a driver that actively drives low or goes to high-impedance state,
relying on a pullup resistor to make the signal line go high) drives the SERDATOUT line. When
using a single chassis, set jumper W2 in position 1 on the SCXI-1122 that is connected to the
DAQ board. In this setting, the module drives MISO to SERDATOUT and connects the
necessary pullup resistor to the SERDATOUT line. When using multiple chassis, set jumper W2
to position 1 on only one of the SCXI-1122s that are cabled to the DAQ board. It does not
matter which of the SCXI-1122s that are cabled to the DAQ board has the pullup connected. Set
jumper W2 in position 3 on all of the other SCXI-1122 modules that are cabled to the DAQ

Chapter 3
Signal Connections
The signals on the front connector are all analog except pins A7, and A31, which are digital. The
analog signals are grouped into analog input channels, excitation channels, and temperature
sensor signals. Signal connection guidelines for each of these groups are described in the
following sections.
Notes: All pins are overvoltage protected to 250 Vrms except for pin A7 (+5 V signal), pin 31
(RSVD), pin A17 (SENSE+), and pin A11 (VEX/2).
All inputs and outputs on the front connector are isolated. The maximum working
common-mode voltage to earth is 480 Vrms and between channels is 250 Vrms.
Analog Input Channel Signal Connections
The positive input channel signal terminals are located in column B of the connector. Their
corresponding negative input channel signal terminals are located in column C of the connector.
Each input corresponds to a separate relay that are all multiplexed into the amplifier input
selector. In addition to the relay inputs, the temperature sensor output from the terminal block–
located on pins A3 (TEMP+) and A1 (TEMP-)–is also connected to the amplifier input selector.
All inputs are fully isolated from earth ground and are in a floating single-ended configuration;
hence, you can measure signals that have a common-mode voltage up to 480 Vrms. Notice that
the maximum allowable channel-to-channel common-mode voltage is 250 Vrms.
Warning: EXCEEDING THE INPUT SIGNAL RANGE RESULTS IN DISTORTED SIGNALS.
Exceeding the maximum input voltage rating (250 Vrms between positive and
negative inputs or outputs, 250 Vrms between input or output channels, and
480 Vrms between input or output channels and earth ground) can damage the
SCXI-1122, the SCXIbus, and the DAQ board. National Instruments is NOT
liable for any damages or injuries resulting from such signal connections.
For better noise immunity, and if all the measured signals are floating, connect the negative input
channels to chassis ground on the terminal block using the solder lug attached to the strain-relief
bar. Figure 3-2 shows how to connect a ground-referenced signal. Figure 3-3 shows how to
connect a floating signal. Figures 3-4 and 3-5 show how to connect AC-coupled signals.

Figure 3-5. AC-Coupled Signal Connection with High Common-Mode Voltage
For AC-coupled signals, connect an external resistor from the positive input channel to the signal
reference to provide the DC path for the positive input bias current. Typical resistor values range
from 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ. This solution, although necessary in this case, lowers the input
impedance of the input channel amplifier and introduces an additional offset voltage proportional
to the input bias current and to the resistor value used. The typical input bias current of the
amplifier consists of ±80 pA and a negligible offset drift current. A 100 kΩ bias resistor results
in ±8 µV of offset, which is insignificant in most applications. However, if you use larger
resistors, significant input offset may result. To determine the maximum offset the biasing
resistor will introduce, use the following equation:
Vofsbias = Ibias x Rbias
The input signal range of an SCXI-1122 input channel is ±10 V/ Gtotal referenced to its negative
input, where Gtotal is equal to the gain selected on the SCXI-1122. In addition, the input channels
are overvoltage protected to 250 Vrms with power on or off at a maximum of 2.5 mArms sink or
source.
Note: The SCXI-1122 input multiplexer is composed of relays. Relays have a certain life
expectancy, as listed in Appendix A, Specifications. To avoid mechanical wear on the
relays, and when you are acquiring a large number of points per channel and
averaging, you should acquire the n samples on a given channel before proceeding to
the next channel. For example, rather than performing 100 scans and taking a single
sample from each channel during each scan, as shown in Figure 3-6a, acquire
100 points on each channel then switch to the next channel and acquire a new set of
samples, as shown in Figure 3-6b.

Excitation Channel Signal Connections
Your SCXI-1122 has a voltage (VEX) and a current (IEX) excitation channel, which are
available at the front connector. In addition, VEX/2 is available for half-bridge and quarter-
bridge transducers. Both channels are isolated from earth ground up to 480 Vrms working
common-mode voltage. Notice that the voltage and current excitations are electrically isolated
from each other but do not provide a safety isolation between them.
Warning: Exceeding the overvoltage protection or isolation rating on the excitation output
can damage the SCXI-1122, the SCXIbus, and the DAQ board. National
Instruments is NOT liable for any damages or injuries resulting from such signal
connections.
Excitation Level
Each excitation channel of your SCXI-1122 has one level:
•
•
Current excitation–1 mA
Voltage excitation–3.333 V
It is important that you do not exceed the maximum permissible load of each channel, listed in
Table 3-1.

Temperature Sensor Connection
Pins A1 and A3 are for connecting the isolated temperature sensor located on the SCXI-1322
terminal block for cold-junction compensation (CJC) of thermocouples connected to the
SCXI-1122. The connection is overvoltage-protected to 250 Vrms with power on and off.

Chapter 3
In particular, when using differential input DAQ boards such as the MIO-16 boards, it is
preferable to leave jumper W1 in its factory setting or in position AB-R1 to avoid ground loops.
With DAQ boards that are configured for referenced single-ended (RSE) measurements, set
jumper W1 in position AB-R0 to connect the SCXI-1122 ground to the DAQ analog ground.
Pin 19 is the OUTREF pin; this pin is connected internally to the analog reference when jumper
W1 is in position AB-R2. Pins 3 and 4 are the analog output channel of the SCXI-1122. Pins 3
and 4 or MCH0± are a multiplexed output of the input channels and the temperature sensor
output. Notice that the temperature sensor is located on the terminal block.
Warning: The SCXI-1122 analog outputs are not overvoltage-protected. Applying external
voltages to these outputs can damage the SCXI-1122. National Instruments is NOT
liable for any damages resulting from such signal connections.
Note: The SCXI-1122 analog outputs are short-circuit protected.
Digital I/O Signal Connections
Pins 24 through 27, 29, 33, 36, 37, 43, and 46 constitute the digital I/O lines of the rear signal
connector–the digital input signals, the digital output signals, and the digital timing signals.
The digital input signals are pins 24, 25, 27, 29, 33, and 37. The DAQ board uses these pins to
configure an SCXI module that is under DAQ board control. Each digital line emulates the
SCXIbus communication signals as follows:
•
•
Pin 25, SERDATIN, is equivalent to the SCXIbus MOSI serial data input line.
Pin 27, DAQD*/A, is equivalent to the SCXIbus D*/A line. It indicates to the module
whether the incoming serial stream on SERDATIN is data (DAQD*/A = 0), or address
(DAQD*/A = 1) information.

Theory of Operation
The major components of the SCXI-1122 are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
The rear signal connector
The SCXIbus connector
The SCXIbus interface
The digital control circuitry
The analog circuitry
The SCXI-1122 consists of 16 isolated multiplexed channels with gains of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1,
0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, and 2,000, and two isolated excitation channels
with voltage and current excitation. The SCXI-1122 also has a digital section for automatic
control of channel scanning, temperature selection, gain selection, and filter selection.
The remainder of this chapter describes the theory of operation for each of these components.
Rear Signal Connector, SCXIbus Connector, and SCXIbus Interface
The SCXIbus controls the SCXI-1122. The SCXIbus interface interfaces the signals of the rear
signal connector to the SCXIbus, allowing a DAQ board to control the SCXI-1122 and the rest of
the chassis.
Digital Control Circuitry
The digital control section consists of the Address Handler Register, the Configuration Register,
the Status Register, and the Module ID Register. The Address Handler Register controls which
register is being addressed. The Configuration Register configures the SCXI-1122 such as gain
selection, shunt calibration, filter bandwidth, two-wire or four-wire scanning, CJS selection, and
auto-zeroing. The Status Register indicates if the SCXI-1122 is done configuring its internal
circuitry or is still in progress of doing so. The Module ID Register contains the module ID A
hex, a code unique to the SCXI-1122. You can read this module ID over the SCXIbus to
determine the type of module in a particular slot.
Analog Circuitry
The analog circuitry consists of a relay multiplexer, a software-programmable gain isolation
amplifier, software-programmable filtering, a temperature sensor channel for cold-junction
compensation, calibration hardware, and voltage and current excitation channel outputs.
Analog Input Channels
The relay multiplexer feeds into the isolation amplifier. This relay multiplexer can be configured
in two-wire or four-wire mode scanning. In two-wire scan mode all sixteen channels operate as
voltage sense channels. At any point in time one and only one of sixteen channels is connected
to the isolation amplifier. In the four-wire scan mode the sixteen channels are divided into two

banks which switch synchronously. The eight upper channels (0 through 7) operate as voltage
sense channels and one out of eight is connected to the amplifier at any given point in time. In
addition, the eight lower channels (8 through 15) operate as current output channels which switch
in tandem with the sense channels. At any given point in time one and only one channel is
connected to the current output channels. Table 4-1 indicates the sense/current output channel
associations.

The temperature sensor consists of a thermistor located on the SCXI-1322 terminal block. This
thermistor connects via the temperature channel to the isolation amplifier. The temperature
sensor is for cold junction compensation of thermocouples. When measuring the temperature
sensor output, set your SCXI-1122 for a gain of five and 4 Hz filter. This will increase the
measurement resolution and accuracy as well as reduce noise.
Note: With a 4 Hz bandwidth you must wait one second before you take the temperature
measurement to permit the system to settle. If you want to use the 4 kHz filter, take a
large number of samples and average them. To achieve 50 or 60 Hz rejection, you
should acquire data over an integral number of power line cycles, then average this
data.
The filtering consists of one of two low pass filters, 4 kHz (-3 dB) or 4 Hz (-10 dB), which you
can select via software control. These filters are cascaded and are located in two stages. This is
done to eliminate noise introduced by the isolation amplifier.
The isolation amplifier fulfills two purposes on the SCXI-1122 module. The isolation amplifier
converts a small signal riding on a high common-mode voltage into a single-ended signal with
respect to the SCXI chassis ground. With this conversion, you can extract the input analog
signal from a high common-mode voltage or noise before it is sampled and converted by the
DAQ board. The isolation amplifier also amplifies and conditions an input signal, which results
in an increase in measurement resolution and accuracy. The isolation amplifier drives the analog
output stage which consists of hardware circuitry which permits several module outputs to
multiplex into one DAQ board channel.
The calibration hardware consists of a software-controlled shunt calibration resistor for strain
gauge calibration, an auto-zero calibration for nulling the amplifier offsets, and of an EEPROM
which holds calibration constants for software correction of gain and offset of the isolation
amplifier and of the current and voltage excitations. Refer to your software user manual
(NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows) for further details and to the Excitation Calibration
section in Chapter 5, Calibration.

Excitation Output Channels
In addition to the isolated input channels, the SCXI-1122 has isolated excitation channels, one
3.333 V voltage output source and one 1 mA current output source. Both–like the relay input
channel–have a 480 Vrms common-mode voltage with respect to earth ground and
250 Vrms common-mode voltage between each other and any other channel. Both channels are
overvoltage protected to 250 Vrms and are current limited. The voltage excitation channel is
provided for transducers, such as strain gauges, which need voltage excitation to operate
properly. The maximum current sourcing that this channel can provide is 225 mA. Exceeding
this limit will cause the channel to lose regulation. This channel has four terminals, two sense
terminals (SENSE+ and SENSE-) and two excitation terminals (VEX+ and VEX-). This is done
to provide remote load regulation. For proper operation, the SENSE+ terminal must always be
connected to the VEX+, and the SENSE- terminal to the VEX-. Refer to the SCXI-1322
Terminal Block Installation Guide for further details on using the sense terminals for remote load
sensing.
One of the primary applications of this channel is to provide power to a strain gauge configured
in a Wheatstone bridge. To permit verification of proper bridge operation, we have provided you
with shunt calibration means. This can be done programmatically.
When you select shunt calibration while you are performing a Wheatstone bridge strain
measurement , a 301 kΩ 1% resistor internally shunts across the strain gauge between the VEX+
and the CH+; this resistor is socketed to permit you to change its value to meet your
requirements. If you are performing several strain measurements, you can enable the shunt
calibration then proceed with scanning all of the channels of interest. When you have completed
your check, you can disable the shunt calibration and proceed with your measurement. Notice
that when you are either enabling or disabling the shunt calibration resistor, you must wait 1 s if
you have selected 4 Hz bandwidth or 10 ms if you have selected 4 kHz bandwidth before making
your measurement to permit the system to settle. Finally, to determine the effect of the shunt
resistor on your measurement, follow the procedure below.
Assuming a quarter-bridge strain-gauge configuration with a gauge factor of GF = 2, the
equivalent strain change the RSCAL shunting resistor introduces is -199 µε. This is determined as
follows:
1. Determine the change the shunting resistor causes using the following formula:
V

+ R )
SCAL
V
ex
g
ex
V
=
−
change
R
+ R(R
+ R )
2
SCAL
SCAL
g
2. Using the appropriate strain-gauge strain formula, and assuming that you have no static
voltage, determine the equivalent strain that the RSCAL resistor should produce. For example,
if your SCXI system is configured with RSCAL = 301 kΩ, a quarter-bridge 120 Ω strain gauge
with a gauge factor of GF = 2, VEX = 3.333 V, and R = 120 Ω, the following result occurs:
Vchange = 0.3321 mV
Replacing the strained voltage with Vchange in the quarter-bridge strain equation produces an
equivalent -199 µε of change.
Also, the module has an internal completion network that you can use with half-bridge or
quarter-bridge networks. To use this completion network, simply connect the VEX/2 terminal to
the negative input channel of the appropriate transducer channel. In case of a quarter-bridge
configuration, you must provide an additional resistor–equal in value to your nominal strain

gauge resistor–to complete the bridge network. Connect this resistor in your SCXI-1322
terminal block between the CH+ and VEX- terminals.
The current output channel is provided for transducers–such as thermistors and RTDs–which
need a current excitation to operate properly. The current output has a value of 1 mA and has a
maximum permissible load of 5 kΩ. If you connect loads greater than 5 kΩ, the current source
will lose regulation. When connecting several loads which need current excitation, you have two
possible approaches. The first is to connect them all in series (as long as they do not exceed
5 kΩ total) and use the two-wire scan mode as shown in Figure 4-2 or use the four-wire scan
mode and have them connected as shown in Figure 4-3.

Chapter 5
Calibration
This chapter discusses the calibration procedures for the SCXI-1122.
Overview
The onboard calibration hardware that calibrates the SCXI-1122, consists of an EEPROM to
store the calibration constants and an auto-zero channel on the amplifier input selector. When
the auto-zero channel is selected, the input relay multiplexer is disconnected from the amplifier
inputs and the isolation amplifier inputs are connected to its ground reference.
Auto-zeroing is a method for nulling error sources that compromise the quality of measurements.
Auto-zeroing determines the amount of offset at the output of the SCXI-1122 at a given gain of
the amplifier. It is recommended to perform auto-zeroing at the start of an experiment for each
gain to be used to eliminate error due to drift in the amplifier internal circuitry and increase the
accuracy of the measurement. Notice that the auto-zero path is different from the analog input
path; therefore, even after auto-zeroing, a residual input offset still exists and has a value of less
than 6 µV. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, for further details.
You can store this offset in the onboard EEPROM for future use and for automatic calibration
when you are using National Instruments software. The EEPROM also stores correction factors
for each gain of the SCXI-1122 as well as for the excitation channels. If you are not using
National Instruments software, refer to the SCXI-1122 Register-Level Programmer Manual if
you need a more a detailed description of the EEPROM.
When using National Instruments software such as NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, and LabWindows, and
you are using the factory-determined calibration constants, you do not need to read the following
section; continue reading the Excitation Calibration section. You need to read the following
section only if you are using National Instruments software and you intend to determine new
calibration constants.
Calibration Procedure
Calibration Equipment Requirements
According to standard practice, the equipment used to calibrate the SCXI-1122 should be 10
times as accurate as the SCXI-1122. Practically speaking, calibration equipment with four times
the accuracy of the item under calibration is generally considered acceptable. To calibrate the
SCXI-1122, you need the following equipment.
•
For the amplifier gains, you need a voltmeter with the following specifications:

A multiranging 8 1/2-digit digital multimeter can perform all of the necessary functions
previously described. In the rest of this section, the measuring instrument is referred to as a
digital multimeter (DMM).
To make sure that the DMM does not introduce an additional offset, you can determine the offset
errors of the DMM by shorting its leads together and reading the measured value. This value, the
DMM offset, must be subtracted from all subsequent measurements.
Gain and Offset Calibration
To determine the offset and gain calibration factors of the SCXI-1122 at a given gain, G ,
s
perform the following steps for a two-point calibration.
1. Set the SCXI-1122 to the desired gain.
2. Depending on how you want to calibrate your module, you can perform one of the following
procedures.
• Auto-zeroing selects one of the calibration points to be at 0 V input and you must provide
the other calibration point at positive or negative full scale:
a. Enable auto-zeroing.
b. Measure the SCXI-1122 output with the DMM and store the measured value for
future use.
c. Disable auto-zeroing.
d. Apply 9.9 V/G or -9.9 V/G to the amplifier input.
s

e. Go to step 3.

• To select positive and negative full scale to be the two calibration points, apply -9.9 V/G
s
and 9.9 V/G .
s.
a. Apply -9.9 V/G to the amplifier input.
s
b. Measure the input voltage with the DMM and store the measured value.
c. Measure the SCXI-1122 output with the DMM and store the measured value.
d. Apply 9.9 V/G at the amplifier input.
s
e. Go to step 3.
Note: If you are using a calibrator that supplies accurate voltages, you can skip step c directly
above and step 3 below.
3. Measure the input voltage with the DMM and the store the measured value.
4. Measure the SCXI-1122 output with the DMM and store the measured value.
5. You now have two pairs of voltages. Each pair consists of an input voltage and an output
voltage. For the autozeroing option, the pairs are {0 V input, offset output} and
{9.9 V/G input, 9.9 V output} or {-9.9 V/G input, -9.9 V output}. For the positive or
s
s
negative full-scale calibration points option, the pairs are {-9.9 V/G input, -9.9 V output}
s
and {9.9 V/G input, 9.9 V output}.
s
6. Convert the output voltage from volt units to your DAQ board binary unit. You must take
into consideration the polarity of your DAQ board, its resolution (12 bits or 16 bits), and
gain. For example, if you are using an AT-MIO-16F-5 in bipolar mode and are using a gain
of G
= 0.5, your output voltages for the autozeroing option will be represented in binary
MIO
units as given by the following formula:

Binary = Voltage •

Refer to your DAQ board user manual to determine the appropriate formula for you to use.
7. You now have a new set of pairs referred to as voltage binary pairs {V input1, Binary
output1} and {V input2, Binary output2}. Pass these pairs to the SCXI_Cal_Constants
function or VI as described in your software user manual.
Notes: When you are using the autozeroing option with 0 V and 9.9 V/G , this sets your gain
s
error to 0% at 0 V and at positive full-scale voltage. However, because of nonlinearity,
the error at the negative full-scale voltage will be two times the nonlinearity error. This
is also true for the positive full-scale voltage if you use the negative full-scale voltage
and 0 V as your two calibration points.
When you are making a measurement and using National Instruments software, the
driver automatically performs the software correction.

Calibration
Chapter 5
Excitation Calibration
When using the excitation channels, you must retrieve the correction factors for the current and
voltage from the EEPROM before using them in your transducer conversion formulas. Refer to
your software user manual for how to use the SCXI_Cal_Constants function or VI to
perform this task.
You do not need to read the following section if you are going to use the factory-determined
correction factors and you are using National Instruments software.
If you want to determine a new set of voltage excitation calibration constants and you are using
National Instruments software, use the following procedure:
1. Connect a 15 Ω resistor to the excitation channel.
2. Connect the DMM across the 15 Ω load and measure the voltage.
3. Pass this voltage to the SCXI_Cal_Constants function or VI.
To determine the current excitation calibration constants, follow this procedure:
1. Set your DMM to DC current measurements.
2. Connect the DMM across the IEX+ and IEX- terminals and measure the current.
3. Pass this current to the SCXI_Cal_Constants function or VI.
Note: When calibrating your system, you must verify that your offsets, gain errors, and
excitation errors do not exceed the ranges listed in Table 5-1.
