This document describes the procedure for verifying and adjusting a 
National Instruments 6110/6111/6115/6120 data acquisition (DAQ) 
device. This document contains four main sections:

 

Introduction

—This section tells you what calibration is, why you 

should calibrate devices, and how often you should calibrate.

Equipment and Other Test Requirements

—This section describes 

what you must do before calibrating the device, including an overview 
of the test equipment, software, calibration functions, and environment 
needed for calibration.

Calibration Process

—This section provides step-by-step instructions 

for verifying and calibrating your device.

NI 6110/6111/6115/6120 Specifications

—This section provides 

specification tables for the NI 6110/6111/6115/6120.

This document is intended for metrology labs. It does not cover 
programming technique or compiler configuration because of the number 
of programming languages and styles you can use to calibrate the device. 
However, NI-DAQ has many online help files that contain 
compiler-specific instructions and function explanations. You can install 
these help files when you install NI-DAQ.

Introduction

What Is Calibration?

Calibration is a set of operations that compares the values indicated by a 
measuring instrument or measuring system to the corresponding values 
realized by external standards. The result of a calibration can be used to 
determine the measurement error and can correct for it in the adjustment 
process.

The calibration process consists of verifying, adjusting, and reverifying a 
device. During verification, you compare the measured performance to an
