    AcroPack modules, VPX I/O board products, and PCIe I/O Cards. The software is implemented as a library of “C” functions which link with existing user code to make possible simple control of all Acromag AcroPack modules. 1.6 References The following resources regarding AcroPack modules are available for download on Acromag’s website or by contacting your sales representative.

  • Page 9: Preparation For Use

    It is important that the user employ satisfactory overall system design. It is understood and agreed by the Buyer and Acromag that this is the Buyer's responsibility.

  • Page 10: Installation Considerations

    Refer to the specifications section for loading and power requirements. Be sure that the system power supplies are able to accommodate the power IMPORTANT: Adequate air requirements of the system boards, plus the installed Acromag board, circulation must be provided to within the voltage tolerances specified.

  • Page 30: Use Of Calibration Data

    Software calibration uses some fairly complex equations. Acromag provides software products (sold separately) to make communication with the board and calibration easy. It relieves you from having to turn the equations of the following sections into debugged software calibration code.

  • Page 31: Uncalibrated Performance

    Typically, each error component is much less than its maximum and all error components do not reinforce each other. Thus, typical errors are much less than that shown above. Acromag, Inc. Tel: 248-295-0310 - 30 - - 30 - https://www.acromag.com...

  • Page 33: Ideal Slope And Zero Values For Supported Ranges

    For applications needing better accuracy, the software calibration coefficients should be used to correct the IdealCode into the CorrectedCode required to accurately produce the output voltage.
