  • Page 30: Calibrating The Board

    Chapter 4 Calibrating the Board Introduction You should calibrate the board (using the InstaCal utility) after the board has fully warmed up. The recommended warm-up time is 15 minutes. For best results, calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The high resolution analog components on the board are somewhat sensitive to temperature.
  • Page 31 PCI-DAS6013 and PCI-DAS6014 User's Guide Calibrating the Board A similar method is used to calibrate the analog output components (PCI-DAS6014 only). A trim DAC is used to adjust the gain of the DAC. A separate DAC is used to adjust offset on the final output amplifier. The calibration circuits are duplicated for both analog outputs (see Figure 29).
