Test Conditions
The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the PXIe-5413 meets
published specifications:
• The PXIe-5413 is warmed up for 15 minutes at ambient temperature. Warm up begins
after the chassis is powered and the PXIe-5413 is recognized by the host and configured
using NI-FGEN.
• All test instruments are warmed up for at least the period of time stated in the
documentation for each instrument and self-calibration is performed. The warm-up time
ensures that the test instruments are at a stable operating temperature.
• Keep cabling as short as possible. Long cables act as antennas, picking up extra noise that
can affect measurements.
• Verify that all connections to the PXIe-5413, including front panel connections and
screws, are secure.
• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the device. Use twisted-pair wire to
eliminate noise and thermal offsets.
• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 3 °C.
• Keep relative humidity between 10% and 90%, noncondensing.
