EEPROM Update

After completing a verification procedure, complete the following steps:
1.

Open a calibration session for the NI PXIe-4610. The default password is 

NI

.

2.

Store the calibration temperature.
a.

Record the ambient temperature.

b.

Call the DAQmx Set Temperature DSA Calibration function to store the calibration 
temperature measured in step a.

3.

Store the calibration constants.
a.

Perform steps 1 through 9 of the 

Gain and Residual Offset Verification

 section to 

calculate the 

ResidualOffset

 of each channel for which you want to update the offset 

calibration constant.

b.

Continue with steps 10 through 12 of the 

Gain and Residual Offset Verification

 

section to calculate the 

UnadjustedGain

 of each channel for which you want to update 

the gain calibration constant.

c.

Call the DAQmx Adjust DSA Power Amplifier Calibration function for the 
NI PXIe-4610 and configure it as shown in Table 6.

d.

Repeat steps a through c for each channel for which you want to store a calibration 
constant.

4.

Close the calibration session.

Accuracy Under Calibration Conditions

The following calibration specifications are valid for the following conditions:

Ambient temperature is 23 °C ± 5 °C.

PXI Express chassis fan speed is set to HIGH and has clean fan filters.

Empty slots have filler panels installed.

Note

The test limits listed in Table 4 and 5 are derived using the values in Table 

and 7, respectively.

Table 6.
