AI Noise Verification
Note This performance characteristic is not affected by adjustment. Consequently,
reverification after adjustment is not necessary.
Complete the following steps to verify the AI noise:
1. Using the equipment described in Table 1, connect a BNC shorting cap to each device input
channel.
2. Create and configure an AI voltage task on the device as shown in Table 10.
3. Start the task.
4. Acquire readings with the NI PXIe-4464.
5. On a per channel basis, compute the standard deviation of the acquired samples.
6. Stop and clear the task.
7. Compare the computed values to the appropriate limits in Table 11. The standard deviation
is the input noise at the -20 dB gain setting at the 204.8 kS/s sample rate.
