Appendix C C Calibration This appendix provides brief information on PCI-1706U card calibration.Regular calibration checks are important to maintain accuracy in data acquisition and control applications.
C.1 Calibration The PCI-1706U has been calibrated at the factory for initial use. You are not required to calibrate the PCI-1706U in normal conditions. However, if in other conditions users need to calibrate the PCI-1706U, users can follow the process list below. To perform a satisfactory calibration, users need a 6-1/2 digit voltmeter and a low noise standard DC voltage source for the calibration process. It is important that the accuracy after calibration depends on the precision voltmeter's accuracy.
Appendix C Calibration C.1.1 A/D Calibration Wizard Introduction: Item 1: Before start calibration, read the instructions: 1. Stop any running operations of the device; 2. Connect your voltmeter to TP1 and AGND, adjust VR1 until the voltage is 2.5 V. (See this page for the position of TP1/VR1.) 3. Select channels in the following list. Hold CTRL key and left chick the list item while selecting multiple channels. All channels are selected for default.
Step 1: Calibrate offset. Item 1: Connect a 0V DC to the channel(s) selected above and click Start button. Item 2: Display some values during calibration process. These values are for internal use, send them to Advantech if calibration fails. Item 3: Display the calibration result. If success the status is Done otherwise is "Failed".
Appendix C Calibration Step 2: Calibrate gain. Item 1: Select a gain in the combo box and connect a specific signal to the AI channel(s). Note! The signal voltage is different at different gain, see the red box marked "1" for the correct value. Item 2: Click "Start" button to start calibrating. Item 3: Display some values during calibration process. These values are for internal use, send them to Advantech if calibration fails. Item 4: Display the calibration result.
Retry calibration: Item 1: Display some channels which fails in calibration process. Item 2: Select the failed channels and re-click "Start" button to try again. Restore to factory default: Item 1: Click "Stop" button to stop calibration process. Item 2: Click "Default" button to restore factory settings.
Appendix C Calibration C.1.2 D/A Calibration Wizard Item 1: Before start calibration, read the instructions: 1. Stop any running operations of this device. 2. Connect AO channel 0/1 to AI channel 0/1 as described in the dialog. See this page for pin assignment of the connector. 3. Select channels in the following list. Hold CTRL key and left chick the list item while selecting multiple channels. All channels are selected for default.
Item 2: Display the calibration status and result during the process. Item 1: Click "Start" button to start D/A calibration process. Item 2: Display some values during calibration process. These values are for internal use, send them to Advantech if calibration fails. Item 1: Display some channels which fails in calibration process. Item 2: Select the failed channels and re-click "Start" button to try again.
