5. Calibration

This chapter provides brief information on PCI-1710/1710L/

1710HG/1710HGL/1711/1711L/1716/1716L calibration. Regular

calibration checks are important to maintain accuracy in data

acquisition and control applications. We provide the calibration

programs or utility on the companion CD-ROM to assist you in A/D

and D/A calibration.

Note:

If you installed the program to another directory, you can find these

programs in the corresponding subfolders in your destination directory.

The PCI-1710/1710L/1710HG/1710HGL/1711/1711L/1716/1716L

has been calibrated at the factory for initial use. However, a

calibration of the analog input and the analog output function every

six months is recommended.

These calibration programs make calibration an easy job. With a

variety of prompts and graphic displays, these programs will lead

you through the calibration and setup procedures, showing you all

the correct settings and adjustments.

To perform a satisfactory calibration, you will need a 4½ -digit digital

multi-meter and a voltage calibrator or a stable, noise-free DC
