NI 5450 Calibration Procedure
Complete Calibration
Performing a complete calibration is the recommended way to warrant that
the NI 5152/5153/5154 will meet or exceed its published specifications for
a two-year calibration interval. At the end of the complete calibration
procedure, you verify that the measurement error falls within the
calibration test limits. Figure 1 shows the programming flow for complete
calibration.
