NI-DAQ Calibration Function
The NI-DAQ function called
Calibrate_E_Series
can calibrate the
analog input, analog output, and internal reference on the PCI E Series
boards. Due to the complexity of the actual calibration algorithm, use
Calibrate_E_Series
to calibrate each section and store the results
in the EEPROM. You can write a separate application using
Calibrate_E_Series
, which is run only when the board needs new
calibration constants. Writing such an application allows the normal
application to simply copy the calibration constants from the EEPROM
and write them to the calibration DACs upon board initialization.
