Introduction—Document Scope
The following procedure contains information on the calibration of
National Instruments E Series data acquisition (DAQ) products.
•
Calibration Overview—This introductory section tells you what
calibration is, why you should calibrate, and how often you should
do it.
•
Equipment and Other Test Requirements—This section describes
what you need to do before you can calibrate your device, including an
overview of the test equipment, software, calibration functions, and
environment needed for calibration.
•
Calibration Process Overview—This section provides detailed
step-by-step instructions for verifying and calibrating your device.
This document will not discuss programming techniques or compiler
configuration because of the number of programming languages and
programming styles that can be used to perform calibration. The National
Instruments DAQ driver, NI-DAQ, contains a number of online help files
that contain compiler-specific instructions and detailed function
explanations. You can add these help files when you install NI-DAQ on the
calibration computer.

Calibration Overview
This section defines calibration, describes why it is necessary, explains
when you should do it, and what to expect.
What Is Calibration?
Calibration refers to a procedure of reading offset and gain errors from a
DAQ board and updating special analog calibration circuitry that will
correct these errors. Every E Series product is calibrated at the factory.
During the factory-calibration procedure, the calibration constants (values
used to update the analog calibration circuitry) are stored in nonvolatile
memory on the board—EEPROM. From memory, these values are loaded
used as needed.
Why Calibrate?
Offset and gain errors may drift with time and temperature. As a result, the
calibration constants may become invalid, requiring calibration to achieve
the specified accuracy of the board.
How Often Should You Calibrate?
E Series products should be calibrated at a regular interval as defined by
the measurement accuracy requirements of your application. National
Instruments recommends that you perform a complete calibration at least
once every year. You can shorten this interval to 90 days or 6 months if
desired.
What Can You Expect from External Calibration?
Automated calibration procedures can reduce the total time required to
perform calibration and verification to approximately 10 minutes.
However, manual calibration and verification can take as long as 1 hour.
You can automate the adjustment and verification procedure if you have
access to programmable standards such as the Fluke 5700A or HP 3458A.
You can control these devices via a GPIB connection. You can then
program the entire procedure to save time and effort.

E Series Calibration Procedure
Equipment and Other Test Requirements
This section describes the equipment, software, documentation, and
environmental conditions needed for calibration.
Test Equipment
When performing calibration, National Instruments recommends that you
use the following instruments for calibration of an E Series board:
•
Calibrator—Fluke 5700A
•
DMM—Hewlett-Packard 3458A
•
Counter—Hewlett-Packard 53131A
If the exact instrument is not available, use the following accuracy
requirements to select a substitute calibration standard:
•
A high-precision voltage source that is at least 50 ppm accurate for
12-bit boards and 10 ppm for 16-bit boards
•
A multiranging 5 1/2-digit DMM with an accuracy of 15 ppm
•
A counter accurate to 0.01%
Note If you do not have custom connection hardware available, you may need a connector
block such as the National Instruments TBX-68 and a shielded 68-pin connector cable.
These components give easy access to the individual pins on the 68-pin board I/O
connector.
Software and Documentation
The following software and documentation are required to calibrate the
E Series. You can obtain these from the National Instruments web site at
www.ni.com/
•
The latest version of the National Instruments NI-DAQ driver. This
driver comes with the NI-DAQ Function Reference Online Help file,
while you will also need.
•
niECal.dll, niECal.lib, and niECal.h files. You should have
downloaded these files when you downloaded this document.
•
NI-DAQ User Manual for PC Compatibles
Software
The E Series calibration procedure requires that the latest version of the
National Instruments NI-DAQ driver be installed on the calibration system.
The driver supports a number of programming languages, including
LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual
E Series Calibration Procedure
4
www.ni.com
Basic, and Borland C++. When you install the driver, you only need to
install support for the programming language that you intend to use.
You also need a copy of the niECal.dll, niECal.lib, and niECal.h
files. This .dll provides calibration functionality that does not reside in
the standard NI-DAQ driver. This functionality includes protecting the
calibration constants and updating the calibration date. You can access the
functions in this .dll through any 32-bit compiler.
Documentation
The NI-DAQ function reference online help and user manuals contain
detailed information on using the NI-DAQ driver. The function reference
help includes detailed information on the functions in the driver. The user
manual provides instructions on installing and configuring National
Instruments DAQ devices. This manual also includes detailed information
on creating applications that use the NI-DAQ driver. These documents are
your primary references for writing your calibration utility. For further
information on the products you are calibrating, you may also want to
install the device user manuals.
Test Considerations
To calibrate an E Series board, there are a number of issues to consider.
First, you must install the NI-DAQ driver on the calibration computer and
properly configure the board to be calibrated. Next, you must write
calibration software to communicate with the board via NI-DAQ function
calls. For more information on using the NI-DAQ driver, refer to the
Software and Documentation section earlier in this document.
You need to be aware of several connection and environmental concerns
during calibration:
•
Keep connections to the board as short as possible. Long cables and
wires can act as antennae, which could pick up extra noise that would
affect measurements.
•
Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the device. It is
often advisable to use twisted-pair wire to eliminate noise and thermal
offsets.
•
Maintain the temperature between 18–28 °C.
•
Keep relative humidity below 80%.
•
Allow a warm-up time of at least 15 minutes for PXI/PCI/AT bus
devices and 30 minutes for PCMCIA cards to ensure that the
measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.

E Series Calibration Procedure
Calibration Process Overview
Writing Your Calibration Procedure
The calibration process is described in the Calibration Process Overview
section later in this document, including step-by-step instructions on
calling the appropriate calibration functions. Unless otherwise specified,
the calibration functions are C function calls in the NI-DAQ driver. These
function calls are also valid for Visual Basic programs. While LabVIEW
virtual instruments (VIs) are not discussed in this procedure, the translation
from NI-DAQ function calls to LabVIEW VIs is straightforward, as many
of the VIs have the same names as the listed function calls. Refer to
Flowcharts for Creating Verification and Calibration Code for flowcharts
detailing the code used at each step of the calibration procedure.
There are a number of compiler-specific steps that you must follow to
create an application using the NI-DAQ driver. The NI-DAQ User Manual
for PC Compatibles details the required steps for each of the supported
compilers.
Be aware that many of the functions listed in the calibration procedure in
the Calibration Process Overview section of this document use variables
that are defined in the nidaqcns.h file. To use these variables, you must
include the nidaqcns.h file in your code. If you do not wish to use these
variable definitions, you can examine the function call listings in the
NI-DAQ documentation and the nidaqcns.h file to determine what input
values are required.
Calibration Process
The calibration process is broken down into three steps:
1.
E Series Verification Procedure—Verify the existing operation of the
board. This step allows you to confirm that the board was operating
within its specified range prior to calibration.
2.
E Series Adjustment Procedure—Perform an external calibration that
adjusts the board calibration constants with respect to a known voltage
source.
3.
Perform another verification to ensure that the board is operating
within its specifications after adjustment.
These steps are described in detail in the following sections. As a complete
verification of all of the board’s gains and ranges can take some time, you
may wish to verify only the gains and ranges of interest to you.
E Series Calibration Procedure

Initial Setup
NI-DAQ automatically detects all E Series devices except DAQPad
devices. However, for the driver to communicate with the device, it must
be configured in NI-DAQ. The following sections provide a brief
description of the configuration procedure. For more information, refer to
the installation documentation in your board’s user manual. Manuals can
be downloaded from the National Instruments Web site,
ni.com/manuals. The following procedure describes how to configure a
board in NI-DAQ:
1.
Install the NI-DAQ driver software.
2.
Turn off the power to the computer that will hold the board and install
the board in an available slot.
3.
When the computer powers up, launch Measurement & Automation
Explorer.
4.
Configure the board device number and click Test Resources to
ensure that the board is working properly.
Note Once a board is configured with Measurement & Automation Explorer, the board is
assigned a device number. Each function call uses this number to identify which DAQ
board to calibrate.
E Series Verification Procedure
Verification determines how well the DAQ board is meeting its
specifications. By performing this procedure, you can see how your board
has operated over time. You can use this information to help determine the
appropriate calibration interval for your application.
The verification procedure is divided into the major functions of the board.
Throughout the verification process, use the tables in the E Series Board
Specifications section later in this document to determine if your device
needs to be adjusted.
Analog Input Verification
Since the E Series board has a number of different ranges and polarities,
you need to check measurements for each available range/polarity
combination. Because there is only one ADC on E Series boards, you only
need to perform verification on a single analog input channel. Use the
following procedure to check the performance of the analog input:
1.

Make sure that you have read the Software and Documentation section
earlier in this document.

E Series Calibration Procedure
2.
Connect the positive output of the calibrator to analog input channel 0
(pin 68), and the negative output of the calibrator to analog input
channel 8 (pin 34).
Note Pin numbers are given for 68-pin connectors only. If you are using a 50-pin
connector, refer to the board user manual for signal connection location.
3.
Choose the data sheet from the E Series Board Specifications section
later in this document that corresponds to the board you are verifying.
This sheet shows all acceptable settings for the board type. Although it
is recommended that all ranges and gains be verified, you may wish to
save time by checking only those ranges that are used in your
application.
4.
Set the calibrator voltage to the test value indicated on the board data
sheet.
5.
Run the AI_Configure function to configure the board for the
appropriate device number, input range, and polarity. Read these
settings from the table for the board.
6.
Run the DAQ_Op function to acquire 10,000 points of voltage data.
Set the gain to the value specified by the board table.
7.
Run the DAQ_VScale function to convert the buffer of acquired binary
values into voltage values.
8.
Average the 10,000 voltage values. Compare the resulting average to
the upper and lower limits listed in the table. If the result falls between
these values, the test is considered to have passed.
9.
Repeat steps 5 through 8 until all values have been verified.
10. Disconnect the calibrator from the board.
You have finished verifying the analog input levels on your board.
Analog Output Verification
This procedure checks the performance of the analog output. Skip this step
if the board you are calibrating does not have analog output circuitry.
Check measurements using the following procedure:
E Series Calibration Procedure
1.
Make sure that you have read the Software and Documentation section
earlier in this document.
2.
Most E Series boards have two analog outputs, DAC0OUT and
DAC1OUT. This test will check both analog output channels. Connect
your DMM to DAC0OUT as shown in Table 1.

Note Pin numbers are given for 68-pin connectors only. If you are using a 50-pin
connector, refer to the board user manual for signal connection location.
3.
Choose the table from the E Series Board Specifications section later
in this document that corresponds to the board you are verifying. This
table shows all acceptable settings for the board. Although it is
recommended that all ranges be verified, you may wish to save time by
checking only those ranges that are used in your application.
4.
Run the AO_Configure function to configure the board for the
appropriate device number, channel, and output polarity. Use
channel 0 as the channel to verify. Read the remaining settings from
the table for the board.
5.
Run the AO_VWrite function to update the analog output channel with
the appropriate voltage. Use the voltage value to be tested shown on
the data sheet for the board.
6.
Compare the resulting value shown by the DMM to the upper and
lower limits in the table. If the value falls between these limits, the test
is considered to have passed.
7.
Repeat steps 4 through 6 until all values have been tested.
8.
Disconnect the DMM from DAC0OUT, and reconnect it to
DAC1OUT, making the connections as shown in Table 1.
9.
Run the AO_Configure function to configure the board for the
appropriate device number, channel, and output polarity. Use
channel 1 as the channel to verify. Read the remaining settings from
the data sheet for the board.
10. Run the AO_VWrite function to update the analog output channel with
the appropriate voltage. Use the voltage value to be tested shown on the
data sheet for the board.
11. Compare the resulting value shown by the DMM to the upper and
lower limits on the data sheet. If the value falls between these limits,
the test is considered to have passed.
12. Repeat steps 9 through 11 until all values have been tested.
13. Disconnect your DMM from the board.
You have finished verifying the analog output levels on your board.

E Series Calibration Procedure
Counter Verification
This procedure verifies the performance of the counter. The E Series
boards have only one timebase to verify, so only counter 0 needs to be
checked. It is not possible to adjust this timebase, so only verification can
be performed. Perform checks using the following procedure:
1.
Make sure that you have read the Software and Documentation section
earlier in this document.
2.
Connect your counter positive input to GPCTR0_OUT (pin 2) and
your counter negative input to DGND (pin 35).
Note Pin numbers are given for 68-pin connectors only. If you are using a 50-pin
connector, refer to the board user manual for signal connection location.
3.
Run the GPCTR_Control function with the action set to ND_RESET.
This places the counter in a default state.
4.
Run the GPCTR_Set_Application function with application set to
ND_PULSE_TRAIN_GNR to configure the counter for pulse-train
generation.
5.
Run the GPCTR_Change_Parameter function with paramID set to
ND_COUNT_1 and paramValue set to 2. This configures the counter to
output a pulse with an off time of 100 ns.
6.
Run the GPCTR_Change_Parameter function with paramID set to
ND_COUNT_2 and paramValue set to 2. This configures the counter to
output a pulse with an on time of 100 ns.
7.
Run the Select_Signal function with signal and source set to
ND_GPCTR0_OUTPUT. This will route the counter signal to the
GPCTR0_OUT pin on the board connector.
8.
9.
Run the GPCTR_Control function with the action variable set to
ND_PROGRAM to start the generation of a square wave.
The board will begin to generate a 5 MHz square wave when the
GPCTR_Control function completes execution. Compare the value
read by your counter to the test limits shown on the board table. If the
value falls between these limits, the test is considered to have passed.
10. Disconnect the counter from your board.
You have verified the counter on your board.
E Series Calibration Procedure

E Series Adjustment Procedure
Use the E Series adjustment procedure to adjust the analog input and output
calibration constants. At the end of each calibration procedure, these new
constants are stored in the factory area of the board EEPROM. Users cannot
modify these values, which prevents them from accidentally accessing or
modify any calibration constants adjusted by the metrology laboratory.
This step in the calibration process calls functions from the NI-DAQ driver
as well as functions from the niECal.dll. For further information on the
functions in the niECal.dll, refer to the comments in the niECal.h file.
Perform adjustment of the analog inputs with a calibrator using the
following procedure:
1.
Read the Equipment and Other Test Requirements section earlier in
this document.
2.
The calibrator connections depend on the resolution of the board you
are calibrating. Refer to Table 2 to determine connections between the
board and the calibrator.
Table 2. Calibrator Connections
12-Bit E Series Device
16-Bit E Series Device
Connect the positive output of the
calibrator to analog input
channel 8 (pin 34).
Connect the positive output of the
calibrator to analog input
channel 0 (pin 68).
Connect the negative output of the
calibrator to AISENSE (pin 62).
Connect the negative output of the
calibrator to analog input
channel 8 (pin 34).
Connect DAC0OUT (pin 22) line
to analog input channel 0 (pin 68).
—
If your calibrator and computer
are floating with respect to each
other, connect the negative output
of the calibrator to AISENSE
(pin 62) and AIGND (pin 29).
If your calibrator and computer
are floating with respect to each
other, connect the negative output
of the calibrator to the AIGND
line (pin 29) and the analog input
channel 8 (pin 34).
Note Pin numbers are given for 68-pin connectors only. If you are using a 50-pin
connector, refer to the board user manual for signal connection location.

11
E Series Calibration Procedure
Note If you are calibrating a DAQCard-AI-16XE-50, you will need to make the
connections as if the board were a 16-bit device. If you are calibrating a 6052E or a
low-cost E Series 16-bit product, you will need to make the connections as if the board
were a 12-bit device.
3.
To obtain the date of the last calibration, run the Get_Cal_Date
function included in the niECal.dll. Once run, CalDate will contain
the date when the board was last calibrated.
4.
Run the Calibrate_E_Series function with calOP set to
ND_SELF_CALIBRATE and setOfCalConst set to
ND_USER_EEPROM_AREA. This step will perform an internal
calibration of the board. It may take as long as 30 seconds to complete
this function call.
5.
Set your calibrator to output a voltage of 7.50 V.
6.
Run the Calibrate_E_Series function with calOP set to
ND_EXTERNAL_CALIBRATE and setOfCalConst set to
ND_USER_EEPROM_AREA. Set calRefVolts to 7.50. If the voltage
supplied by your source does not maintain a steady 7.50 V, you will
receive an error. If your voltage source is floating with respect to the
computer and you have not connected AISENSE to AIGND, you will
receive an error.
7.
Run the Copy_Cal function included in the niECal.dll. This
function enables and copies the new calibration constants to the
protected factory portion of the EEPROM. This function will also
update the calibration date.
8.
Run the Calibrate_E_Series function with calOP set to
ND_SET_DEFAULT_LOAD_AREA and setOfCalConst set to
ND_FACTORY_EEPROM_AREA. This step sets the factory-calibration
constants as the default constants.
9.
Disconnect the calibrator from the board.
The board is now calibrated with respect to your external source.
After the board is calibrated, you may want to verify the analog input and
output operation. To do this, repeat the E Series Verification Procedure
section of this document.

Installation and Calibration Issues
Although the operating system automatically detects most E Series
products, there are some special cases where manual configuration is
required. Refer to the product user manual for specific installation issues.
DAQPad Issues
Once you have completed calibrating a DAQPad, you need to manually
remove the DAQPad driver from the system. If you do not remove the
driver, NI-DAQ tries to install the DAQPad each time you launch
Measurement & Automation Explorer.
E Series Board Specifications
The tables in this section are the specifications for the various E Series
products. The specifications are divided into analog input, analog output,
and counter/timer tables of values.
The tables display the specifications for both 1-year and 24-hour
calibration intervals. That is, the 1-year ranges display the specifications
that the boards should meet if it has been 1 year between calibrations. When
a board has been calibrated with an external source, the values shown in the
24-hour tables are the valid specifications.

E Series Calibration Procedure
Using the Tables
The following definitions describe how to use the information from the
tables in this section.
Range
Range refers to the maximum allowable voltage range of an input or output
signal. For example, if a board is configured in bipolar mode with a range
of 20 V, the board can sense signals between +10 V and –10 V.
Polarity
Polarity refers to the polarity of the input signal that can be read. In bipolar
configuration, the board can read both positive and negative voltages. In
unipolar mode, the board can read only positive voltages.
Gain
The Gain value is applied to an input voltage prior to sending the voltage
to the ADC. The input voltage level, multiplied by the gain, should not
exceed the voltage range of the board. For instance, for a gain of 2 with the
board configured in bipolar mode, the maximum input voltage can be
4.995 V, because 4.995 × 2.0 = 9.990 V.
Note There are no gain settings for analog output, as the analog output gain is fixed at 1.
Test Point
The Test Point is the voltage value that is input or output for verification
purposes. This value is broken down into two columns: Location and
Value. Location refers to where the test value fits within the test range.
Pos FS stands for positive full-scale and Neg FS stands for negative
full-scale. Value refers to the voltage value to be verified and is in volts.
24-Hour Ranges
The 24-Hour Range column contains the Upper Limits and Lower Limits
for the test point value. That is, when the board is within its 24-hour
calibration interval, the test point value should fall between the upper and
lower limit values. Upper and lower limits are expressed in volts.
1-Year Ranges
The 1-Year Range column contains the Upper Limits and Lower Limits for
the test point value. That is, when the board is within its 1-year calibration
interval, the test point value should fall between the upper and lower limit
values. Upper and lower limits are expressed in volts.

Counters
It is not possible to adjust the resolution of the counter/timers. Therefore,
these values do not have a 1-year or 24-hour calibration period. However,
the test point and upper and lower limits are provided for verification
purposes.
