Teledyne API Model 200AU NOX Analyzer Instruction Manual, 02293, Rev. F

9.3.3.1 ADC/DAC Calibration Procedure

Due to the stability of modern electronics, this procedure should only need to be performed if a major sub-assembly is exchanged or when the display voltage does not match the input voltage or current to the V/F card. After completion, a Factory Calibration Procedure should be performed, see Section 9.1.6.

Before the actual calibration is performed, switches on the V/F card must be correctly set and jumpers set on the motherboard. Jumper and switch setting changes must be performed with the instrument power OFF.

Motherboard Jumpers

The motherboard contains 4 pairs of jumpers JP1 - JP8, one pair for each analog output channel. Each channel can be configured for either voltage or current output. Use Table 9-7 to configure the jumpers.
