Documentation
Consult the following documents for information about the NI 5421/5441, NI-FGEN, and your
application software. All documents are available at
and are installed with
the software.
Self-Calibration Procedures
The NI 5421/5441 can perform self-calibration, which adjusts the gain and offset of the main
and direct analog paths. Self-calibration uses only an onboard analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
to measure the output voltage. You can implement self-calibration on the NI 5421/5441 by
following procedures similar to the
Verifying the DC Gain and Offset Accuracy
and the
procedures described in this document. However, output
impedance, oscillator frequency, and the calibration ADC are not adjusted during
self-calibration.
You can initiate self-calibration interactively from Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX) or from the FGEN Soft Front Panel (SFP). Alternatively, you can initiate self-calibration
programmatically using NI-FGEN.
