Calibration Interval
The accuracy requirements of your measurement application determine
how often you should calibrate the NI 4065. NI recommends performing a
complete calibration at least once a year. NI does not guarantee the absolute
accuracy of the NI 4065 beyond this one-year calibration interval. You can
shorten the calibration interval based on the demands of your application.
