NI 9205/9206 Calibration
Procedure
This document contains information about calibrating National
Instruments 9205/9206 modules using NI-DAQmx. This calibration
procedure is intended for metrology labs.
This document does not discuss programming techniques or compiler
configuration. The NI-DAQmx driver contains online help files that have
compiler-specific instructions and detailed function explanations. You can
install these help files when you install NI-DAQmx on the calibration
computer.
The NI 9205 and NI 9206 should be calibrated at a regular interval as
defined by the measurement accuracy requirements of your application.
National Instruments recommends that you routinely perform a complete
calibration at least once every two years. You can shorten this interval based
on the accuracy demands of your application or requirements of your
processes. Self-calibration can be performed as needed or when the
temperature varies by 5 °C or more from the last external calibration.
