2 APPENDIX D Calibration This appendix provides brief informa- tion on PCI-1718 card calibration. R eg- ular calibration check s are important to maintain accuracy in data acquisition and contr ol applications.[...]

PCI-1718 Series User Manual 82 Appendix D Calibration PCI-1718 cards are calibrated at the f actory for initial use. However, a recalibration of the analog input and the analo g output function is recom- mended: 1. Every six months. 2. Everytime the analog output range is c hanged. W e provide a calibration program on the com panion CD-ROM to assis[...]

83 Appendix D D.1 VR Assignment The six variable resistors (VRs) on the PCI-1718HDU/H GU board help you make accurate adjustment on all A/D and D/A channels. See the fig- ure in Appendi x B for help finding th e VRs. The followi ng list shows the function of each VR: Figure D.1: PCI-1718 VR Assig nment VR Function VR1 A/D unipolar offset VR2 A/D fu[...]

PCI-1718 Series User Manual 84 D.2 A/D Calibration Regular and accurate calibration en sures maximum possible accuracy . The CALB.EXE calibration pro gram leads you through the whole A/ D offset and gain adjustment procedur e. The basic steps are outlined below: Short the A/D input channel 0 to ground and measure the voltage at TP1 on the PCB (see [...]

85 Appendix D D.3 D/A Calibration Connect a reference voltage within th e range ± 10 V to the reference inp ut of the D/A channel you want to calib rate. Y ou can use either the on-board -5 V (-10 V) reference or an external reference. Adjust the full -scale gain and zero offset of the D/A channel wi th VR5 and VR6, respectively . Use a precision [...]
