PCI/PXI/CompactPCI analog output (AO) devices. This document does not discuss programming techniques or compiler configuration. The National Instruments DAQmx driver contains help files that have compiler-specific instructions and detailed function explanations. You can add these help files when you install NI-DAQmx on the calibration computer. -

AO GND AO EXT REF Calibrator Figure 1. Calibration Connections When performing calibration, National Instruments recommends that you use the following instruments for calibrating an AO device: • Calibrator—Fluke 5700A. If that instrument is unavailable, use a high-precision voltage source that is at least 50 ppm accurate for 12- and 13-bit boards and 10 ppm for 16-bit boards. -
Page 6: Test Considerations
AO Adjustment Procedure—Perform an external calibration that adjusts the device calibration constants with respect to a known voltage source. Perform another verification to ensure that the device is operating within its specifications after adjustment. © National Instruments Corporation AO Waveform Calibration Procedure for NI-DAQmx... -
Page 7: Initial Setup
These steps are described in detail in the following sections. Because a complete verification of all of the device’s ranges can take some time, you may wish to verify only the ranges of interest to you. Initial Setup NI-DAQmx automatically detects all AO devices. However, for the driver to communicate with the device, it must be configured in NI-DAQmx. - Page 8 AO 24 AO 24 (pin 17) AO GND (pin 51) AO 25 AO 25 (pin 16) AO GND (pin 50) AO 26 AO 26 (pin 49) AO GND (pin 15) © National Instruments Corporation AO Waveform Calibration Procedure for NI-DAQmx...

Page 13: Ao Adjustment Procedure
AO Adjustment Procedure Use the AO adjustment procedure to adjust the analog output calibration constants. At the end of each calibration procedure, these new constants are stored in the external calibration area of the EEPROM. These values are password-protected, which prevents the accidental access or modification of any calibration constants adjusted by the metrology laboratory. - Page 14 After adjusting the device, you may want to verify the analog output operation. To do this, repeat the steps in the AO Verification Procedure section using the 24-hour test limits in the AO Device Test Limits section. © National Instruments Corporation AO Waveform Calibration Procedure for NI-DAQmx...

Page 15: Ao Device Test Limits
AO Device Test Limits The tables in this section list the accuracy specifications to use when verifying and adjusting the NI 671X/672X/673X. The tables display the specifications for both 1-year and 24-hour calibration intervals. The 1-year ranges display the specifications that the devices should meet if it has been one year between calibrations. -
