8 CALIBRATION
The PCM-DAS16x/16 is calibrated via software. The case may not be opened and
there are no parts inside which you can service. There are no socketed components.
The PCM-DAS16x/16 should not need re-calibration more frequently than once
every six months. You can check the calibration of offset and gain at any time with
InstaCal.
8.1 SOFTWARE CALIBRATION
If you are using the UniversalLibrary, you can set software calibration factors for off-
set and gain using the Calibration option of InstaCal. These factors will be applied to
readings made by any of the A/D routines called from any of the language libraries of
UniversalLibrary.
They are also stored in on-board EEPROM. The calibration factors are stored in the
on-board EEPROM. Of course, the calibration factors may be recalculated at any
time by running InstaCal calibration.
Choose Calibration from the InstaCal menu, and follow the instructions. Press F1 for
help.
