3.1 Analog I/O Module Calibration
Analog input/output modules are calibrated when you receive them. However, cali-
bration is sometimes required. No screwdriver is necessary because calibration is done
in software with calibration parameters stored in the ADAM-5000 analog I/O module‘s
onboard EEPROM. The ADAM-5000 system comes with the ADAM utility software
that supports calibration of analog input and analog output. Besides the calibration
that is carried out through software, the modules incorporate automatic Zero Calibra-
tion and automatic Span Calibration at boot up or reset.
3.1.1 ADAM-5000 Series Analog Input Module Calibration
Modules: ADAM-5017, 5017P, 5017H, 5017UH, 5018, and 5018P
Calibration Steps:
1. Apply power to the ADAM-5000 system that the analog input module is plugged
into and let it warm up for about 30 minutes.
2. Ensure that the module is correctly installed and is properly configured for the
input range you want to calibrate. You can do this with the ADAM utility soft-
ware.
3. Use a precision voltage source to apply a span calibration voltage to the mod-
ule's V0+ and V0- terminals. (See Tables 5-2 and 5-3 for reference voltages for
each range.)
