NI 6703/6704 Calibration Procedure for Traditional NI-DAQ

because a large initial change in one of the calibration channels can affect 
the accuracy of the other calibration channel. Refer to the offset and gain 
channel numbers in the following table.

To adjust current output, complete the following steps:

1.

Call 

Set_DAQ_Device_Info

 to configure the NI 6704 so you can 

access the calibration channels. Set the following parameters:

infoType

ND_CALIBRATION_ENABLE

infoValue

ND_YES

2.

Connect the DMM to the NI 6704 as shown in the following table.

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.

Call 

AO_VWrite

 with the channel set to the current offset channel. 

Adjust the 

voltage

 parameter until the DMM reads as close to 0.1 mA 

as possible. The value you write to the current offset channel is close 
to 0.01 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.

6.

Call 

AO_VWrite

 to generate 20.0 mA on current channel 16. Set the 

following parameters:

chan

: 16

voltage

: 20.0
