NI 5402/5406 Calibration Procedure
Appendix B: Calibration Utilities
NI-FGEN supports several calibration utilities that allow you to retrieve
information about adjustments performed on the NI 5402/5406 arbitrary
function generator, restore an external calibration, change the external
calibration password, and store small amounts of information in the
onboard EEPROM. You can retrieve some data using MAX or the FGEN
SFP; however, you can retrieve all the data using NI-FGEN.
MAX
To retrieve data using MAX, complete the following steps:
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
Navigate to
My System»Devices and Interfaces»NI-DAQmx
Devices
and select the device from which you want to retrieve
information.
3.
Select the
Calibration Tab
on the lower right corner. You should see
information about the last calibration dates and temperature for both
external and self-calibration.
FGEN SFP
To retrieve data using the FGEN SFP, complete the following steps:
1.
Launch the FGEN SFP.
2.
Navigate to
Edit»Device Configuration
and select the device from
which you want to retrieve information using the Device Configuration
dialog box.
3.
Navigate to
Edit»Device ConfigurationUtility»Calibration
to open
the Calibration dialog box. You should see information about the last
calibration dates for both external and self-calibration.
