Appendix A Calibration
This chapter introduces the calibration process to minimize analog
input measurement errors.
A.1 Calibration Constant
The PXIe-9834 is factory calibrated before shipment, with associ-
ated calibration constants written to the onboard EEPROM. At
system boot, the PXIe-9834 driver loads these calibration con-
stants, such that analog input path errors are minimized. ADLINK
provides a software API for calibrating the PXIe-9834.
The onboard EEPROM provides two banks for calibration con-
stant storage. Bank 0, the default bank, records the factory cali-
brated constants, providing written protection preventing
erroneous auto-calibration. Bank 1 is user-defined space, pro-
vided for storage of self-calibration constants. Upon execution of
auto-calibration, the calibration constants are recorded to Bank 1.
When PXIe-9834 boots, the driver accesses the calibration con-
stants and is automatically set to hardware. In the absence of user
assignment, the driver loads constants stored in bank 0. If con-
stants from Bank 1 are to be loaded, the preferred bank can be
designated as boot bank by software. Following re-assignment of
the bank, the driver will load the desired constants on system re-
boot. This setting is recorded to EEPROM and is retained until re-
configuration.
