    • Calibrates offset error of interleaving ADCs • Takes approximately 1 minute to complete Running Self-Calibration Running self-calibration enables the PXIe-5163 to yield full performance over its operating temperature range and two-year external calibration cycle. Before running self-calibration, warm up the PXIe-5163 for at least 15 minutes. Note Warm-up begins after the chassis and controller or PC is powered and NI-SCOPE is loaded and recognizes the PXIe-5163.
