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

Specifications

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

Equipment and Other Test

Requirements

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

Specifications

section that corresponds

to the device you are verifying. This specification table shows all
acceptable settings for the device.
