Calibrate the PCI-DAS64/M1/16 after it has warmed up and immediately before making critical
measurements
Use the InstaCal utility to calibrate the PCI-DAS64/M1/16 after it has fully warmed up. For best results,
calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The high resolution analog components
on the board are somewhat sensitive to temperature. This pre-measurement calibration insures that your board is
operating at the optimum calibration values.
Configuring the PCI-DAS64/M1/16
All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS64/M1/16 are software controlled. You can select some of
the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (64 single-ended or
32 differential channels), and the edge used for triggering when using an external pacer.
Once configured, any program that uses Measurement Computing's Universal Library will initialize the
hardware according to these selections.
