How to self calibrate NI 4060?

[ateem]

Hi,
I'm using NI4060 DMM. Though i don't have stringent constraints of accuracy of measurements,but would like to know if anybody has Self calibraition VIs that can be used for 4060. LabVIEW PDS has self cal VIs only for 4070. Can i use the same VIs for 4060??
Thanx

Hello,

There are not any Self-Calibration function calls for the NI 4060 DMM. The NI 4070 DMM is the only DMM that supports autocalibration at this moment.

You could use Calibration Executive to calibrate the 4060 boards. Calibration Executive 2.0 provides complete verification and adjustment of the 4060 product line. You will need to use an external instrument, the Fluke 7500 specifically, to perform your own external calibration of the NI-4060.

The final option is to send your board to us so we can Calibrate it for you. See more information in this link: http://www.ni.com/support/calibrat/

No, the 4060 does not support self calibration. Only the 4070 does.
