FGEN Adjustment
This section explains how to adjust the VirtualBench FGEN. You can choose to perform these
adjustment procedures with or without performing the verification procedures first.
Note
NI recommends repeating the verification procedures after you perform these
adjustment procedures. Re-verification ensures that the instrument you have
calibrated is operating within specifications after adjustments.
Note
Before adjustment perform a self-calibration on the DMM performing the
adjustment.
Note
Allow the VirtualBench to warm up for at least 30 minutes before adjusting.
