Chapter 4 Calibration Procedures 34907A Analog Output 34907A Analog Output Analog Output Verification Test This procedure is used to check the calibration of the analog outputs on the 34907A Multifunction Module. Install the module in slot 200. Verification checks are performed only for those output values with unique calibration constants.
Chapter 4 Calibration Procedures 34907A Analog Output Analog Output Adjustment Note: Install the 34907A module in the mainframe and allow a 45 minute warm-up before performing these procedures. This adjustment procedure sets a zero adjustment and a gain adjustment constant for each DAC output. You must perform all the adjustments on one analog output channel before adjusting the other analog output channel.
