NI 9201/9221 Calibration Data
The NI 9201/9221 modules have eight channels with a nominal range of
±10.53 V and ±62.5 V, respectively. Each channel has an associated LSB
weight, which is the number of volts per bit, and an offset, which is the
number of volts per bit measured when the inputs are grounded.
Note
LSB weight is referred to as Gain in the object dictionary.
The calibration data is stored in a U32 array, though each Offset field
(subindex 1, 3, 5, and so on) should be interpreted as a signed value.
Use the calibration coefficients with the following equation to generate
corrected data:
