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 NI 5611 at least once a year. You can
shorten this calibration interval based on the accuracy demands of your
application.
Calibration Overview
Calibration involves verification, and, if necessary, adjustment, and
reverification of the NI 5611.
Verification
is the process of testing to ensure that the accuracy of the
device. Perform verification post-adjustment to determine if the adjustment
was successful.
Adjustment
is the process of measuring and compensating for device
performance to improve the measurement accuracy. Performing an
adjustment updates the calibration date.
Perform a complete calibration to guarantee successful adjustment and
performance of the NI 5611 for a one-year calibration interval. After
adjustment, repeat verification to ensure that the device meets the
calibration test limits.
After calibrating the NI 5611 as a stand-alone device, NI strongly
recommends that you calibrate the NI 5673, which includes the NI 5611.
To calibrate the NI PXIe-5673 or NI PXIe-5673E, refer to their calibration
