11. Save the adjustment to the EEPROM, using the DAQmx Close External Calibration VI. 

This VI also saves the date, time, and temperature of the adjustment to the onboard memory.

Note

If an error occurs during adjustment, no constants will be written to the 

EEPROM.

12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 for each channel to be adjusted.
13. Set the calibrator to standby mode (STBY).
14. Disconnect the calibrator from the module. 

The module is now calibrated with respect to your external source. After calibrating the module, 
you must reverify the accuracy of the module. To do this, repeat th
