Page 23: Calibrating The Board
Chapter 5 Calibrating the Board Use the Insta Cal utility program to calibrate the PCI-DAS4020/12. Insta Cal calibrates the PCI- DAS4020/12 using on-board digital potentiometers and trim D/A converters. No external equipment or user adjustments are required. The PCI-DAS4020/12 is factory calibrated. The calibration coefficients are stored in nvRAM. Analog input adjustments are made via 10-bit calibration DACs that are referenced to the on-board factory calibrated standard. -

Page 27: Digital Input / Output
PCI-DAS4020/12 User's Guide Specifications Total analog output error is a combination of gain, offset, integral linearity, and differential linearity error. The overall absolute worst-case error of the board may be calculated by summing these component errors. Worst case error is realized only in the unlikely event that each of the component errors are both at their maximum level, and causing error in the same direction. -
