D.2 A/D Calibration
Regular and accurate calibration ensures maximum possible accuracy.
The CALB.EXE calibration program leads you through the whole A/D
offset and gain adjustment procedure. The basic steps are outlined below:
1.
Short the A/D input channel 0 to ground and measure the voltage at
TP1 on the PCB (see the figure in Appendix B). Adjust VR4 until
TP1 is as close as possible to 0 V.
2.
Connect a DC voltage source with value equal to 0.5 LSB (such as
the D/A output) to A/D Channel O (pin 1 on connector CN3).
3.
Adjust VR3 until the output from the card's A/D converter flickers
between 0 and 1.
4.
Connect a DC voltage source with a value of 4094.5 LSB (such as
the D/A output) to A/D channel 0.
5.
Adjust VR2 until the A/D reading flickers between 4094 and 4095.
6.
Repeat steps 2 to step 5, adjusting VR2 and VR3.
7.
Select unipolar input configuration. Connect a DC voltage source
with a value of 0.5 LSB (such as the D/A output) to A/D channel0.
Adjust VR1 until the reading of the A/D flickers between 0 and 1.
D.3 D/A Calibration
Connect a reference voltage within the range
±
10 V to the reference input
of the D/A channel you want to calibrate. You can use either the on-board
-5 V (-10 V) reference or an external reference. Adjust the full-scale gain
and zero offset of the D/A channel with VR5 and VR6, respectively. Use
a precision voltmeter to calibrate the D/A output.
Set the D/A data register to 0 and adjust VR6 until the output voltage
equals 0 V.
Set the D/A data to 4095 and adjust VR5 until the D/A output voltage
equals the reference voltage minus 1 LSB, but with the opposite sign, For
example, if V
ref
is -5 V, then V
out
should be +4.9988 V.
Note:
Using a precision voltmeter to calibrate the A/D outputs
is recommended.
