Calibrating FieldPoint AI Modules with Calibration Executive
NI recommends that you use the following instruments for calibration:
•
FieldPoint FP-1000 network module
•
FP-TB-CAL FieldPoint Calibration Terminal Base (part
number 777519-90), a modified FieldPoint base that allows you to
write new calibration constants to the module EEPROM
•
11-24 V power supply—NI PS-2 power supply
•
RS-232 serial cable
If a Fluke 5700A is not available, use the accuracy specifications to choose
a substitute calibration standard.
Documentation
This section describes the documentation you need to calibrate a FieldPoint
AI module. In addition to this calibration procedure, you may need to refer
to the following documentation:
•
Calibration Executive Software User Manual
•
FP-1000/1001 User Manual
•
FP-1000/1001 Quick Start Guide
•
