Effects of Autocalibration
on Accuracy
The module performs autocalibration to correct for drift errors over
temperature. Autocalibration occurs immediately following
configuration of a previously unselected channel, during power cycle
of enable channels and every 5 minutes if so configured. The table
below shows module accuracy with and without calibration.
