Note
The ADC must be in referenced single-ended and bipolar mode and fully
calibrated (using calOP = 2) for successful calibration of the DACs.

Reserved.
5:
Edit the default load table so that the set of constants in the area identified by
EEPROMloc (1–6, 9 or 10) become the default calibration constants for the
ADC. NI-DAQ changes either the unipolar or bipolar pointer in the default load
table depending on the polarity those constants are intended for. The factory
default for the ADC unipolar pointer is EEPROMloc = 9. The factory default for
the ADC bipolar pointer is EEPROMloc = 10. You can specify any user area in
EEPROMloc after you have run a calibration on the ADC and saved the
calibration constants to that user area. Or, you can specify EEPROMloc = 9 or
10 to reset the default load table to the factory calibration for unipolar and bipolar
mode respectively.

Edit the default load table so that the set of constants in the area identified by
EEPROMloc (1–6, 9 or 10) become the default calibration constants for the
DACs. NI-DAQ’s behavior for calOP = 6 is identical to that for calOP = 5. Just
substitute DAC everywhere you see ADC.
