NI 9215 Calibration Data
The NI 9215 has four channels with a nominal range of ±10.4 V. Each
channel has an associated LSB weight, which is the number of volts per bit,
and an offset, which is the number of volts per bit measured when the inputs
are grounded.
Note LSB weight is referred to as Gain in the object dictionary.
The NI 9215 EEPROM stores these two constants for each channel. The
host can then take these constants and adjust the raw data into calibrated
data.
The calibration data is stored in a U32 array, though each Offset field
(subindex 1, 3, 5, and so on) should be interpreted as a signed value.
Use the calibration coefficients with the following equation to generate
corrected data:
