Issue Details

I have NI 9222 C Series Module. How is the accuracy of this module calculated?

Solution

Refer to page 6 of the specifications document for gain and offset error information.

We can then plug in these values in the formulae specified in this document to reach the accuracy values depending upon the device calibration status and test environment.



Using the above table, accuracy of NI 9222 at 0V reading for a calibrated device, operating at maximum temperature range is (ignoring noise uncertainty):

Absolute Accuracy =± [(VoltageReading x GainError) + (VoltageRange x OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty]
                               = ±  [(0 x 0.2/100) + (10.6 x 0.01/100)]
                               = ±  1.06 mV
