VL-12CT96/7 Analog & Digital I/O Card
7-3
Analog Output Calibration (Current Mode)
Required Equipment
• A milliammeter with resolution and accuracy to ½ LSB (3.9 µA).
• A low noise 24 Volt DC voltage source.
• A small flat blade screwdriver.
Calibration Procedure
The following steps describe a detailed benchtop calibration procedure. If desired, the card can be
calibrated in the field by inserting the milliammeter in series with the existing current loop.
• Disconnect cable from connector J2.
• Connect the low noise 24 Volt DC power supply to connector J2; positive to pin 5, ground to pin
4.
• Connect the milliammeter to connector J2; positive lead (red) to pin 6, negative lead (black) to
pin 7. This effectively creates a 0 ohm current loop.
• Turn G0 pot fully clockwise until it clicks. This could be up to 30 turns.
• Turn Z0 pot fully clockwise until it clicks. This could be up to 30 turns.
• Write 07FFH to channel 0.
• Measure the current flow. Call this number A.
• Write 0000H to channel 0.
• Measure the current flow. Call this number B.
• Calculate C= A–B–12
• Turn Z0 pot counterclockwise until the current flow equals “C” milliamps.
• Write 07FFH to channel 0.
• Turn G0 pot counterclockwise until the current flow equals 20.0000 milliamps.
