Verifying the Performance of the NI 6711/6713/6731/6733
Verification determines how well the device is meeting its specifications.
The verification procedure is divided into the major functions of the device.
Throughout the verification process, refer to the tables in the
section to see if the device needs adjustment.
Verifying Analog Output
This procedure verifies the AO performance of the
NI 6711/6713/6731/6733. NI recommends testing all channels of the
device. However, to save time, you can test only the channels used in your
application. Make sure that you have read the
section before starting this procedure.
1.
Disconnect all cables to the device. Make sure the device is not
connected to any circuits other than those specified by the calibration
procedure.
2.
To internally calibrate the device, call the
Calibrate_E_Series
function with the following parameters set as indicated:
•
calOP
set to
ND_SELF_CALIBRATE
•
setOfCalConst
set to
ND_USER_EEPROM_AREA
•
calRefVolts
set to
0
3.
Connect the DMM to DAC0OUT as shown in Table 1.
4.
Refer to the table from the
section that corresponds
to the device you are verifying. This specification table shows all
acceptable settings for the device.
