The calibration involves gain, offset and linearity correction for all input ranges and input modes. Interval.............................................1 week, or any time temperature changes beyond ±5 °C. Hardware detects temperature variations beyond calibration limits, which also can be queried by software. External calibration.................................Internal reference requires recalibration Interval.............................................1 year Warm-up time.........................................15 minutes Safety This product is designed to meet the requirements of the following standards of safety for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use: • IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1 • UL 3111-1, UL 61010B-1 • CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1 Note For UL and other safety certifications, refer to the product label, or visit ni.com/hardref.nsf, search by model number or product line, and click the appropriate link in the Certification column.
