NIST Traceability
Calibration test equipment should be traceable through the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
(NIST). Customers not familiar with traceability through that institute should contact them at
traceability@nist.gov
The NIST Policy on Traceability (contained in NIST Administrative Manual, Subchapter 5.16)
addresses:
o establishing traceability of measurement results
o assessing the claims of traceability made by others
Installing DaqCal
DaqCal is installed automatically from your data acquisition CD during software installation of DaqView.
The default location of DaqCal.exe is the Omega DaqX Software Program Group. The DaqX program
group can be accessed through the “All Programs” feature in the Miccrosoft Windows Desktop.
Setup
Depending on your device, the setup will involve a 37-pin, 68-pin, or 100-pin connector. Although you can
calibrate your Daq device directly through these connectors, it is much easier and quicker to perform the
calibration via a passive screw terminal option such as a DBK213 (or DBK215 for SCSI devices), DBK11A, or
TB-100. Many connection options are possible. A few are illustrated below. Connections to [or installation
within] the host PC are not shown.
CAUTION
Turn off power to all devices connected to the system before connecting cables or setting
configuration jumpers and switches. Electrical shock or damage to equipment can result
even under low-voltage conditions.
CAUTION
The discharge of static electricity can damage some electronic components.
Semiconductor devices are especially susceptible to ESD damage. You should always
handle components carefully, and you should never touch connector pins or circuit
components unless you are following ESD guidelines in an appropriate ESD controlled
area. Such guidelines include the use of properly grounded mats and wrist straps, ESD
bags and cartons, and related procedures.
