Calibration

Running the Calibration Utility

To run the DT9820 Series Calibration Utility, perform the following
step:

Locate the DT9820 Series software program folder on your hard
disk.
This program folder was created when you installed the DT9820 Series
software.

Double-click the Calibration Utility icon in the program folder.

Select the name of the DT9822 function module to configure from
the combo box, then click OK.

Once the DT9820 Series Calibration Utility is running, you can
calibrate the analog output circuitry, as described in the following
section.
