Appendix D Calibration

PCI-1718 cards are calibrated at the factory for initial use. However, a recalibration of the analog input and the analog output function is recom- mended:

1.Every six months.

2.Everytime the analog output range is changed.

We provide a calibration program on the companion CD-ROM to assist you with D/A calibration. The calibration programs make calibration an easy job. With a variety of prompts and graphic displays, these programs will lead you through the calibration and setup procedures, showing you all the correct settings and adjustments.

Note:

If you installed the program to another directory,

 

you can find these programs in the corresponding

 

subfolders in your destination directory.

To perform a satisfactory calibration, you will need a 4½-digit digital multi-meter and a voltage calibrator or a stable, noise-free DC voltage source.

Note:

Before you calibrate the D/A function, you must

 

turn on the power at least 15 minutes to make sure

 

the DA&C card is already stable.

This calibration utility is designed for the Microsoft© DOS environment. Access this program from the default location:
