Adjustment - National Instruments PXI Manual

Adjustment

If the NI 5114 successfully passed each of the verification procedures within the calibration test
limits, then an adjustment is recommended but not required to guarantee the published
specifications for the next two years. You can update the calibration date and onboard calibration
temperature without making any adjustments by completing only steps 1 and 13.f in this section.
If the device was not within the calibration test limits for each of the verification procedures, you
can perform the adjustment procedure to improve the accuracy of the device. Refer to the
Appendix A: Calibration
An adjustment is required only once every two years. Following the adjustment procedure
automatically updates the calibration date and temperature in the EEPROM of the device.
Complete all of the following steps to externally adjust the NI 5114:
1. Obtain an instrument session handle using the niScope Cal Start VI.
2. Short-circuit the channel 0 input of the device by connecting the calibrator test head directly
to the device and grounding the output of the calibrator.
3. Wait 2,500 ms for the impedance matching and frequency of the calibrator to settle.
section to determine which procedures to perform.
