NI 9219 calibration

[hardwareguy]

I have an NI 9219 module that indicates the calibration expired 12/27/2008 (when looking at Measurement & Automation Explorer).  The manual for the 9219 also says it has a calibration interval of 1 year.  However, there is no information on the NI website about calibration for this module. 

Is there a calibration for this module?  And how do we get it done?

Hi hardwareguy,

The 9219 can be calibrated.  There are a couple options for calibration. 

1. Using NI Calibration Executive you can perform the calibration yourself.  This requires have all of the calibration hardware and software.

2.  You can send your module to us for calibration.  You can find more information on this on our Calibration Services page.

Best Regards,

What version of Calibration Executive supports this unit. I have CalExec3.4 and there is not a procedure for NI 9219.

CalExec does not at this time have a procedure for the NI 9219.  I was incorrect before.  You can however send it in for calibration.

Hello hardwareguy,

At this point, the best option for calibrating this module is our Factory Test Service. This service is comparable to our end-of-line production test and will adjust the unit back to "like new" condition. The service will also renew the calibration interval for the device and reset the date that is stored on the device (and displayed in MAX). However, this service does not include any detailed measurement data to demonstrate "As Found" or "As Left" measurement performance.

To set up a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) for this service you can call 1-866-510-6285 in the US or visit the Contact NI page for other locations. I hope this is helpful, let us know if you have any other questions.

Is it possible to write my own procedure?

[Hesloppy]

There is now a published calibration procedure for the 9219.

I should have specified. What I meant was an automated procedure for Calibration Executive.

I would direct this question to calibration@ni.com.
