Chapter 5 Calibration

National Instruments Corporation 5-3 PCI-6110E/6111E User Manual

To externally calibrate your board, be sure to use a very accurate

external reference. The reference should be several times more accurate

than the board itself. For example, to calibrate a 16-bit board, the

external reference should be at least ±0.001% (±10 ppm) accurate.
