RM-4339 Calibration Procedure

f.

Multiply 

Unscaled

OffsetComp

 by 

SCalScaleFactor

 that was calculated in step 8 and 

record the value as 

Scaled

OffsetComp

.

g.

Compare 

Scaled

OffsetComp

 to the Upper and Lower Limits from Table 7 for the 

quarter-bridge configuration that is being verified. If the results are within the Upper 
and Lower Limits the device passes the verification test.

h.

Clear the task by calling DAQmx Clear Task.

11. Repeat steps 3 through 10 for each quarter-bridge configuration.
12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 for each channel.
13. Set the calibrator to standby mode (STBY).
14. Disconnect the calibrator from the device.
