Introduction: This Document’s Scope
The following procedure for verifying and calibrating the National
Instruments 6703/6704 analog output products contains three main
sections:
•
. This introductory section tells you what
calibration is, why you should calibrate, and how often you should do
it. This section also explains internal and external calibration.
•
Equipment and Other Test Requirements
. This section describes what
you need to do before you can calibrate your device, including an
overview of the test equipment, software, calibration functions, and
environment needed for calibration.
•
. This section provides detailed step-by-step
instructions for verifying and calibrating your device.
This document does not cover programming technique or compiler
configuration because of the number of programming languages and styles
that can be used to perform calibration. However, the National Instruments
data acquisition driver, NI-DAQ, has many online help files that contain
compiler-specific instructions and detailed function explanations. You can
add these help files when NI-DAQ is installed on your calibration
computer.
