Calibration; Equipment Requirements; Calibration Program - Keithley DAC-02 User Manual

Your DAC-02 board is initially calibrated at the factory. You are advised
to check the calibration of a board periodically. For laboratory
environments, a 6-month to 1-year calibration interval is recommended.
For extremes of temperature, vibration, and humidity, a 3-month
calibration interval is recommended. This chapter provides the
information you need to calibrate a DAC-02 board.

Equipment Requirements

The equipment requirements for calibrating a DAC-02 board are as
follows:
A digital voltmeter accurate to 6 1/2 digits, such as a Keithley
Instruments Model 199
An STA-U accessory with K-1800 cable or a user-designed interface

Calibration Program

To facilitate calibration, the DAC-02 software package contains a
menu-driven calibration and test program (CAL02.EXE). Using this
program steps you through all the calibration requirments. Each of the
potentiometers shown in the program is clearly marked on the board.
If you are unable to calibrate the board or correct faulty performance,
refer to Chapter 8.
