Chapter 3 Calibration (NI783xR/784x R/785xR Only)

To externally calibrate your device, use an external reference several times

more accurate than the device itself. For more information on externally

calibrating your NI 783xR/784xR/785xR device, refer to the NI 783xR

Calibration Procedure for NI-RIO, found on ni.com/manuals.
