VXI VT1433B - Manual (Page 123)

Calibration Description
The Cal connector on the front panel of the standard VT1433B can be configured
(in software) as either an input or an output. It can be set to any of four
settings:
q DC - The VT1433B outputs a DC calibration signal from the millivolt range up to
15 volts.
q AC - The VT1433B outputs a signal from an Arbitrary Source option (in the same
module or a different VT1433B module in the system.)
q Ground - The connector is shunted to ground for a zero-volt reference.
q Open Circuit - In this mode the connector becomes an input which can receive a
calibration signal up to ±15 volts.
The VT1433B is calibrated at the factory and the calibration placed in EPROM
memory for use at each power-up. In addition an auto-zero function is provided.
