Software Requirements

Calibrating the FD-11613 or FD-11614 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx on the

calibration system. NI recommends using the latest NI-DAQmx driver. Earliest driver support

version for calibrating the FD-11613 or FD-11614 is listed in the following table.

Table 1. FD-11613/11614 Driver Support

Driver Earliest Version Support for Device Calibration

NI-DAQmx 18.1

You can download NI-DAQmx from ni.com/downloads. NI-DAQmx supports many

programming languages, including LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, C/C++, C#, and Visual

Basic .NET. When you install NI-DAQmx, you only need to install support for the application

software that you intend to use.

Test Conditions

The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the FD-11613/11614

meets published specifications:

2| ni.com | FD-11613/11614 Calibration Procedure

• Keep connections to the device as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as

antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.

• Verify that all connections to the device are secure.

• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the device. Use twisted-pairs 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 FieldDAQ device

measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

Calibration Procedure

The calibration process includes the following steps:

1. Initial Setup on page 3

2. Verification on page 4

3. Adjustment on page 7

4. EEPROM Update on page 8

5. Reverification on page 9

Initial Setup

Complete the following steps to set up the FieldDAQ device.

1. Install the software and NI-DAQmx driver as outlined in the FD-11613/11614 Quick

Start.

Note You must install NI-DAQmx 18.1 or later for device calibration support.

2. Set up the FieldDAQ device as outlined in the FD-11613/11614 Quick Start.

3. Configure the FieldDAQ device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX) as

outlined in the FD-11613/11614 Quick Start.

4. If the FieldDAQ device is not reserved automatically, select the device and click the

Reserve Network Device button. Refer to Reserving the Device in MAX for more

information.

5. Self-test your device in MAX by expanding Devices and Interfaces »Network Devices ,

right-clicking your FieldDAQ device, and selecting Self-Test. Self-test performs a brief

test to determine successful device installation. When the self-test finishes, a message

indicates successful verification or if an error occurred. If an error occurs, refer to ni.com/

support/daqmx.

Reserving the Device in MAX

When the FieldDAQ device is connected to a network, multiple users can access the device.

To perform any DAQ functionality on the device, including reset and self-test, you must

reserve the device in MAX. In MAX, an unreserved device or device reserved by another host

FD-11613/11614 Calibration Procedure | © National Instruments | 3

appears with an X and a reserved device appears as dark grey. Only one user at a time can

reserve the FieldDAQ device.

If the device was not reserved automatically after it was added (Add Device), you can reserve

the device in MAX by expanding Devices and Interfaces»Network Devices, selecting the

device, and clicking the Reserve Network Device button. The Override Reservation dialog

box opens when you attempt to explicitly reserve a device. Agreeing to override the

reservation forces the FieldDAQ device to be reserved by the current user.

Verification

The following performance verification procedures describe the sequence of operation and test

points required to verify the FieldDAQ device. The verification procedures assume that

adequate traceable uncertainties are available for the calibration references. Complete the

following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the FieldDAQ device.

1. Connect the calibrator to Bank 1 of the FieldDAQ device, as shown in the following

8| ni.com | FD-11613/11614 Calibration Procedure

If you do not want to perform an adjustment, you can update the calibration date and onboard

calibration temperature without making any adjustments:

1. Call the DAQmx Initialize External Calibration function to start a calibration session on

the FieldDAQ device. The default password is NI.

2. Call the DAQmx Set Temperature FieldDAQ Calibration function to input the external

temperature in degrees Celsius.

3. Call the DAQmx Close External Calibration function to end the session. Set the Action

input to Commit.

Reverification

Repeat Verification to determine the As-Left status of the device.

Note If any test fails reverification after performing an adjustment, verify that you

have met the all conditions listed in Test Conditions before returning your device to

NI. Refer to Where to Go for Support for assistance in returning the device to NI.

Accuracy Under Calibration Conditions

The values in the following table are based on calibrated scaling coefficients, which are stored

in the onboard EEPROM.

The following accuracy table is valid for calibration under the following conditions:

• Ambient temperature 23 °C ± 5 °C

• No nodes share power with the FieldDAQ device under calibration

The test limits listed in Tables 3 and 6 are derived using the values in the following table.
