EEPROM Update
When an adjustment procedure is completed, the NI 9775 internal calibration memory
(EEPROM) is immediately updated.
If you do not want to perform an adjustment, you can update the calibration date and onboard
calibration temperature without making any adjustments by initializing an external calibration,
setting the C Series calibration temperature, and closing the external calibration.
Reverification
Repeat the Verification section to determine the As-Left status of the device.
Note You must remove and re-insert the module from the chassis before running
verification.
Note If any test fails Reverification after performing an adjustment, verify that you
have met the Test Conditions before returning your device to NI. Refer to
Worldwide Support and Services for assistance in returning the device to NI.
Accuracy Under Calibration Conditions
