This chapter tells you how to calibrate the A/D converter gain and offset. The offset and full-scale performance

of the modules A/D converter is factory-calibrated. Any time you suspect inaccurate readings, you can check the

accuracy of your conversions using the procedure below, and make adjusts as necessary. Using the

6210DIAG diagnostics program is a convenient way to monitor conversions while you calibrate the module.

Calibration is done with the module installed in your system. You can access the trimpots at the edge of

the module. Power up the system and let the board circuitry stabilize for 15 minutes before you start calibrat-

ing.

Required Equipment

The following equipment is required for calibration:

Precision Voltage Source: -10 to +10 volts

Small Screwdriver (for trimpot adjustment)

While not required, the 6210DIAG diagnostics program (included with example software) is helpful when

performing calibrations. Figure 10-1 shows the module layout with the three trimpots used for calibration

(TR1, TR2, and TR4) located along the top right edge.
