6 CALIBRATION

The PCM-DAS16x/12 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/12 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.

6.1 SOFTWARE CALIBRATION

If you are using the Universal Library, you can set software calibration fac-
tors for offset and gain using the Calibration option of InstaCal. These fac-
tors will be applied to readings made by any of the A/D routines called from
any of the language libraries of Universal Library.

The calibration factors are stored in the on-board EEPROM. Of course, the
calibration factors may be recalculated at any time by running InstaCal cali-
bration.

Choose Calibration from the InstaCal menu, and follow the instructions.
Press F1 for help.
