NI 6703/6704 Calibration Procedure for Traditional NI-DAQ

3.

Place the DMM in current mode.

4.

Call 

AO_VWrite

 to generate 0.1 mA on current channel 16. Set the 

following parameters:

chan

: 16

voltage

: 0.1

5.

Compare the resulting value shown by the DMM to the upper and 
lower limits listed in Table 2 in th

Specifications

 section. If the value 

is between these limits, the device passes the test.

6.

Call 

AO_VWrite

 to generate 20.0 mA on current channel 16. Set the 

following parameters:

chan

: 16

voltage

: 20.0

7.

Compare the resulting value shown by the DMM to the upper and 
lower limits listed in Table 2 in th

Specifications

 section. If the value 

is between these limits, the device passes current verification.

8.

Disconnect the DMM from the NI 6704.

You have now verified the current output of the NI 6704.

Adjusting the NI 6703/6704

At the end of each calibration procedure, new constants are stored in 
the user calibration area of the NI 6703/6704, ensuring that the device 
stores a permanent record of the calibration constants. Storing the 
calibration constants here also ensures that the constants automatically load 
when the NI 6703/6704 is powered on.

Adjusting Voltage Output

For the voltage outputs, you need to make offset and gain adjustments. 
Adjust offsets first, followed by gains. Adjust offset and gain again to 
ensure accuracy. This second set of offset and gain adjustments is 
necessary because a large initial change in one of the calibration channels 
can affect the accuracy of the other calibration channel. 

The following table lists the offset and gain channel numbers.
