Device Calibration Signal Connections for the NI 6154
Self-Calibration
When you self-calibrate your NI 6154 device, no signal connections are necessary. However, values generated on the analog output channels change during the calibration process.
External Calibration
When externally calibrating your NI 6154 device, connect the signals as described below for the type of device you are calibrating. Set the reference voltage between +6.0 V and +9.998 V. Typically, you use a calibrator or other stable voltage source for the reference voltage. Do not use a power supply as its signals are not very stable.
Follow these steps:
- Disconnect any external connections or circuitry to your device.
- Connect the positive output of your reference voltage source to physical channel AI0+.
- Connect the negative output of your reference voltage source to physical channel AI0-.
