Self-Calibration
The NI 5622 includes precise internal circuits and references used during
self-calibration to adjust for time and temperature drift.
Note
Allow a 15 minute warm-up period before you begin self-calibration.
Note
Always self-calibrate the digitizer before you perform verification. NI-SCOPE
includes self-calibration example programs for LabVIEW, CVI, and Microsoft Visual C.
You can initiate self-calibration using the following methods:
•
MAX
•
NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel (SFP)
•
NI-SCOPE
MAX
To initiate self-calibration from MAX, complete the following steps:
