Using the Calibration Utility

DT9850 Series modules are calibrated at the factory and should not require calibration for
initial use. We recommend that you check and, if necessary, readjust the calibration of the
analog output circuitry on the DT9850 Series modules every six months using the DT9850
Series Calibration Utility and a precision digital multimeter (DMM).
Note: Ensure that you installed the DT9850 Series Device Driver prior to using the DT9850
Series Calibration Utility.
Start the DT9850 Series Calibration Utility as follows:
1. Make sure that one or more DT9850 Series modules are attached to your computer.
2. Attach a precision DMM to the DT9850 Series module's outputs.
3. Click Start from the Task Bar, and then select Programs | Data Translation, Inc |
4. Select the module to calibrate from the Board drop-down list box.
Once the DT9850 Series Calibration Utility is running, you can calibrate the analog output
circuitry of the DT9850 Series module, described on
