DAC0 Calibration Procedure.
__________________________
i)
Set up the DAC0 output jumpers for the output range
required, make a note of the output range.
ii)
Using leads as short as possible connect up the digital
voltmeter as in Figure 4-2
iii)
Set DAC0 to its LOWEST output value by writing the
digital code 000 hex to the converter.
iv)
Using Figure 4-3 determine the ideal output voltage for the
000 hex input code, the 1/10 LSB value is the precision
required. This is the OFFSET adjustment.
For BIPOLAR ranges adjust trim pot 5 for minus full scale
value. eg for range -5 to +5 bipolar the ideal offset voltage
is -5.0000 Volts +/- 0.0002 Volt.
For UNIPOLAR ranges adjust trim pot 6 for zero volts.
eg for range 0 to +5 unipolar the ideal offset voltage is
0.0000 Volts +/- 0.0001 Volt.
v)
Set DAC0 to its HIGHEST output value by writing the
digital code FFF hex to the converter.
vi)
Using Figure 4-3 determine the ideal output voltage for the
FFF hex input code, the 1/10 LSB value is the precision
required. This is the GAIN adjustment.
Adjust trim pot 4 for maximum positive output voltage.
eg for range -5 to +5 bipolar the ideal full scale voltage is
+4.9987 Volts +/- 0.0002 Volt.
eg for range 0 to +5 unipolar the ideal full scale voltage is
+4.9987 Volts +/- 0.0001 Volt.
