SCXI-1520 Calibration Procedure
Adjusting for Gain, Offset, and Excitation Errors
The
and
Adjusting Calibration Constants
sections explain how to determine the gain, offset, and excitation errors of
the SCXI-1520 and how to adjust the calibration constants to correct for
these errors.
Determining Gain Errors
