The functions that are required for externally calibrating the SCXI-1503 are
available in NI-DAQmx 8.1 or later. Refer to the
NI-DAQmx Help
for
details about these functions.
Most external calibration documents for SCXI modules are available to
download from
ni.com/calibration
by clicking
Manual Calibration
Procedures
. For external calibration of modules not listed there, Basic
Calibration Service or Detailed Calibration Service is recommended. You
can get information about both of these calibration services from
ni.com/calibration
. NI recommends performing an external
calibration once a year.
Note
Performing an external calibration of the SCXI-1503 permanently overwrites the
factory calibration settings, which impacts the accuracy of the inputs.
