Getting Started
Device Self-Calibration
NI recommends that you self-calibrate your X Series device after installation and whenever the
ambient temperature changes. Self-calibration should be performed after the device has warmed
up for the recommended time period. Refer to the device specifications to find your device
warm-up time. This function measures the onboard reference voltage of the device and adjusts
the self-calibration constants to account for any errors caused by short-term fluctuations in the
environment.
You can initiate self-calibration using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), by
completing the following steps.
Note
Disconnect all external signals before beginning self-calibration.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
Select
My System»Devices and Interfaces»
your device
.
3.
Initiate self-calibration using one of the following methods:
•
Click
Self-Calibrate
in the upper right corner of MAX.
•
Right-click the name of the device in the MAX configuration tree and select
Self-Calibrate
from the drop-down menu.
Note
You can also programmatically self-calibrate your device with NI-DAQmx,
as described in
Device Calibration
in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW Help
.
