Calibration and Test
Periodic calibration of the ADIO1600 is recommended to retain full accuracy. The calibration
interval depends to a large extent on the type of service that the card experiences. For environ-
ments where there are frequent large changes of temperature and/or vibration, a three-month inter-
val is suggested. For laboratory or office conditions, six months to a year is acceptable.
A 4-1/2 digit digital multimeter is required as a minimum to perform satisfactory calibration. Also, a
voltage calibrator or a stable noise-free DC voltage source that can be used in conjunction with the
digital multimeter is required.
Calibration is performed using the ADIO1600 setup program (A1216EST.EXE) on the diskette
supplied with your card. This program will lead you through the set up and calibration procedure
with prompts and graphic displays that show the settings and adjustment trim pots. This calibration
program also serves as a useful test of the ADIO1600 A/D and D/A functions and can aid in
troubleshooting if problems arise.
Calibration Procedure
The following procedure is brief and is intended for use in conjunction with the calibration part of the
program.
1) Run the A1216EST setup and calibration software to confirm proper configuration of the card
for calibration. (For the ADIO1600, the proper setup is single-ended, bipolar ±10V input range).
2) Install the card and run the A1216EST setup and calibration program.
3) Use the arrow keys to select
Calibration,
then select A/D or D/A calibration.
4) Follow the instruction to perform the calibration procedure and test.
