5. Calibration
This chapter provides brief information on PCI-1710/1710L/1710HG/
1710HGL/1711/1711L/1716/1716L calibration. Regular calibration
checks are important to maintain accuracy in data acquisition and
control applications. We provide the calibration programs or utility on
the companion CD-ROM to assist you in A/D and D/A calibration.
Note:
✎ If you installed the program to another directory, you can find these
programs in the corresponding subfolders in your destination
directory.
The PCI-1710/1710L/1710HG/1710HGL/1711/1711L/1716/1716L has
been calibrated at the factory for initial use. However, a calibration of
the analog input and the analog output function every six months is
recommended.
These calibration programs make calibration an easy job. With a
variety of prompts and graphic displays, these programs will lead you
through the calibration and setup procedures, showing you all the
correct settings and adjustments.
To perform a satisfactory calibration, you will need a 4½-digit digital
multi-meter and a voltage calibrator or a stable, noise-free D. C. voltage
source.
Note:
✎ Before you calibrate the A/D or D/A function, you must turn on the
power at least 15 minutes to make sure the DAS card getting stable.
