  • Page 5: Test Conditions

    The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the NI PXIe-4322 meets published specifications. • Keep connections to the NI PXIe-4322 as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements. •...
  • Page 6: Verification

    Verification The following performance verification procedures describe the sequence of operation and provide test points required to verify the NI PXIe-4322. The verification procedures assume that adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references. The NI PXIe-4322 has eight independent isolated analog output channels. Each channel can be configured as voltage output mode or current output mode.
