How To Calibrate Your Data Acquisition System. (StrainSmart Self-Calibration)

In this iNote Anton explains and demonstrates how to calibrate your DAQ. StrainSmart data systems have built-in self-calibration VCAL using separate precision voltage reference.
The Micro-Measurements Voltage Calibration (VCAL) Card is available as an accessory and provides the ability to perform a system-level calibration of the entire measurement circuit without the need to return the system to the manufacturer or metrology lab. The gain and offset of each channel can be calibrated. The VCAL is calibrated at the factory to NIST-traceable standards and does not need to be present in the system during normal operation. A benefit of on-board system calibration is the ability to calibrate the system under the actual operating conditions, thereby minimizing errors due to environmental conditions.

En esta iNote Anton nos explica y muestra cómo calibrar su DAQ, en este caso el Sistema 8000 de Micro-Measurements. La Tarjeta de Calibración por Voltaje de Micro-Measurements (VCAL) está disponible como accesorio, y proporciona la capacidad de realizar una calibración de todo el circuito de medición sin la necesidad de enviar el sistema al fabricante o a un laboratorio de metrología.
