Measurement Specialties PCI-DAS64/M2/16 Manual Do Utilizador

Calibrate the PCI-DAS64/M2/16 after it has warmed up and immediately before making critical 
measurements 
Use the InstaCal utility to calibrate the PCI-DAS64/M2/16 after it has fully warmed up. For best results, 
calibrate the board immediately before making critical measurements. The high resolution analog components 
on the board are somewhat sensitive to temperature. This pre-measurement calibration insures that your board is 
operating at the optimum calibration values. 

All hardware configuration options on the PCI-DAS64/M2/16 are software controlled. You can select some of 
the configuration options using InstaCal, such as the analog input configuration (64 single-ended or 32 
differential channels), and the edge used for triggering when using an external pacer. 

Once configured, any program that uses Measurement Computing’s Universal Library will initialize the 
hardware according to these selections.
