6. Calibration

Chapter6

This chapter provides brief information on PCI-1712/1712L calibration.

Regular calibration checks are important to maintain accuracy in data acquisition and control applications. A calibration utility, AutoCali, is included on the companion CD-ROM :

AutoCali.EXE PCI-1712/1712L calibration utility

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

C:\Program Files\Advantech\ADSAPI\Utility\PCI1712

Note:

✎If you installed the program to another directory, you can find these programs in the corresponding subfolders in your destination directory.

The PCI-1712/1712L has been calibrated at the factory for initial use. However, a calibration of the analog input and the analog output function every six months is recommended.

6.1 VR Assignment

There is one variable resistor (VR1) on the PCI-1712/1712L to adjust the accurate reference voltage on the PCI-1712/1712L. We have provided a test point (See TP5 in Figure 6-1) for you to check the reference voltage on board. You will need a precise 4½-digit digital multi-meter. Before you start to calibrate A/D and D/A channels, please adjust VR1 until the reference voltage on TP5 has reached +5.0000 V. Figure 6-1 shows the locations of VR1 and TP5.
