NI 6703/6704 Calibration Procedure for Traditional NI-DAQ

Call 

AO_VWrite

 with the channel set to the current gain channel. 

Adjust the 

voltage

 parameter until the DMM reads as close to 20.0 mA 

as possible. The value you write to the current gain channel is close to 
19.608 mA. Increasing the voltage value lowers the magnitude of the 
current on current channel 16. Decreasing the voltage value increases 
the magnitude of the current on current channel 16.

You have now adjusted the current output.

Saving Calibration Values

After you have adjusted the calibration constants, you must store the new 
calibration constants in the user calibration area of the NI 6703/6704 
EEPROM to ensure that the new calibration values are permanently saved 
and automatically loaded when the NI 6703/6704 is powered on. If the 
calibration is being performed by a metrology laboratory or another facility 
that maintains traceable standards, the calibration values should also be 
stored in the factory calibration area. Calibration constants stored in the 
factory calibration area cannot be overwritten by the user.

To save the calibration constants and update the calibration dates, complete 
the following steps:

1.

Call 

AO_Calibrate

 to store the new calibration constants in the user 

calibration area of the EEPROM. Set the following parameters:

operation

: 2

calibrationArea

: 1

2.

Call 

Set_DAQ_Device_Info

 to configure the NI 6703/6704 so it is 

no longer possible to access the calibration channels. Set the following 
parameters:

infoType

ND_CALIBRATION_ENABLE

infoValue

ND_NO

3.

If the calibration is being performed by a metrology laboratory or 
another facility that maintains traceable standards, call the 

Copy_Cal

 

function in the 

ni6704Cal

.

dll

. Calling this function copies the 

calibration values to the factory calibration area and updates the 
calibration date to match the system clock of the calibration computer.

The NI 6703/6704 is now adjusted. 

Verifying the New Calibration Constants

You can verify the new calibration constants by repeating the
