Calibration
Caution Do not attempt to perform calibration until you are fully prepared
to do so. Following incorrect procedures can destroy instrument
calibration. Read this entire chapter before attempting to calibrate the
unit. ▲
Note Allow the recorder to warm up and stabilize (approximately 15
minutes at room temperature) prior to performing calibration. ▲
Routine calibration should be performed to maintain the accuracy of your
instrument. Routine calibration consists of calibrating each of the ADC
scales and current.
You will need the following to calibrate your instrument:
One precision voltage source, accurate to ±5 mV, adjustable from 10
mV to 10 V
One precision 400-ohm resistor, 0.05% (required for calibrating
current only)
The recorder menu supports full calibration for your instrument's voltage
and current ranges. Each range requires a unique calibration constant that
is automatically calculated during the calibration of each range. Each input
card must be calibrated: one calibration for points 1–6, one for points 7–
12, and one for points 13–18.
Note that actual voltage calibration constants are automatically stored in
nonvolatile memory on the analog to digital converter boards. ▲
