PXIe-5673E Calibration Procedure
To calibrate the PXIe-5673E, you must install NI-RFSG version 1.8 or later on the calibration
system. You can download the latest version of NI-RFSG at
ni.com/downloads
.
NI-RFSG supports programming the calibration procedures in LabVIEW. Refer to Table 1 for
file locations.
Documentation
You might find the following documentation helpful as you perform the calibration procedure:

This calibration procedure calibrates the PXIe-5673E as a single device. To calibrate the
PXIe-5450/5451 Waveform Generator, PXIe-5611 IQ Modulator, or PXIe-5650/5651/5652
RF Analog Signal Generator individually, refer to their calibration procedures at
ni.com/
manuals
.
Calibration Interval
The measurement accuracy requirements of your application determine how often you
should calibrate your device. NI recommends that you perform a complete calibration for
the PXIe-5673E at least once a year. You can shorten this calibration interval based on the
accuracy demands of your application.
