Using the Manual Calibration Procedure
If you want to manually calibrate the analog input circuitry instead of auto-calibrating it, do
the following:
1. From the main menu of the DT3034 Calibration Utility, click Configure, and then Board.
2. Select the name of the DT3034 board to configure from the combo box, and then click OK.
3. From the main menu of the DT3034 Calibration Utility, click Calibrate.
4. Click A/D.
5. In the Reference Source box, select the reference that you are using (Internal or External;
6. In the Range box, select Bipolar, and then Zero.
7. Click the increment or decrement arrows in the Manual Adjustment box until the display
8. In the Range box, select Bipolar, and then +FS (for full-scale).
9. Click the increment or decrement arrows in the Manual Adjustment box until the display
10. In the Range box, select Unipolar, and then +FS (for full-scale).
11. Click the increment or decrement arrows in the Manual Adjustment box until the display
12. In the Range box, select Unipolar, and then Zero.

Internal is the default).
The bipolar (zero and full-scale) and unipolar (zero and full-scale) ranges are automatically
calibrated, and the calibration values are displayed. The bipolar readings should be within 0.001 V;
the unipolar readings should be within 0.0005 V.
