Verification
Note
After the 15-minute warm-up time, always self-calibrate the digitizer before
beginning a verification procedure.
This section describes the program you must write to verify either the calibration test limits or
the published specifications for the digitizer. Refer to
Appendix A: Calibration Options
determine which limits to use in these procedures.
Note
If any of these tests fail immediately after you perform an external
adjustment, make sure that you have met the requirements listed in the
sections before you return the digitizer to National
Instruments for repair.
