Chapter 5 Calibration©National Instruments Corporation5-17PCI E Series RLPMNI-DAQ Calibration FunctionThe NI-DAQ function called Calibrate_E_Series can calibrate theanalog input, analog output, and internal reference on the PCI E Seriesboards. Due to the complexity of the actual calibration algorithm, useCalibrate_E_Series to calibrate each section and store the resultsin the EEPROM. You can write a separate application usingCalibrate_E_Series, which is run only when the board needs newcalibration constants. Writing such an application allows the normalapplication to simply copy the calibration constants from the EEPROMand write them to the calibration DACs upon board initialization.
