Calibration 4
DaqBoard/3000 Series boards are factory-calibrated. However, if adjustments are needed they should be
completed in the following order:
1.
Analog Measurement Path, Offset and Gain
2.
Voltage Reference
3.
DAC0 Offset and Gain *
4.
DAC1 Offset and Gain *
5.
DAC2 Offset and Gain *
6.
DAC3 Offset and Gain *
*In regard to DAC applicability:
DaqBoard/3000 – DAC0 and DAC1 apply
DaqBoard/3001 – DAC0, DAC1, DAC2, and DAC3 apply
DaqBoard/3005 – No DACs apply
DaqBoard/3006 – No DACs apply
Note
: DaqBoard/3006 has one fixed range of ±10V.
A Windows-based program, DaqCal.exe, is used to calibrate Daq systems, including analog expansion
cards. DaqCal.exe is used in conjunction with:
•
a 6.5-digit, digital multi-meter
•
an adjustable voltage calibrator
•
an ambient temperature meter
To use the calibration program:
1.
Launch
DaqCal
.
Note
: DaqCal is installed automatically from your data acquisition CD as a part of product
support. This takes place during software installation. DaqCal’s default location is the
O
mega
DaqX Software
folder, in the
Programs
group.
2.
When DaqCal opens you will be prompted to select your device from a list. After doing so,
simply follow the illustrated on-screen instructions.
Reference Note
:
We have incorporated a copy of the
DaqCal User Calibration Utility Guide
(p/n 457-0931) with this chapter. The guide includes information regarding NIST
(National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceability, and equipment and setup
information. Though far from all encompassing, the general guide should give you a good
understanding as to how DaqCal is used.
