Calibration
When you are ready to calibrate your device to correct for drift in
frequency, refer to the 6601/6602 Calibration Procedure or the
6608 Calibration Procedure available at
ni.com/calibration. Click
on Manual Calibration Procedures and select your device from the list.
You can calibrate these devices in Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) only.
Note When calibrating the NI 6608, use an external clock with a short-term stability (over
a period of 100 s) of better than 5 × 10
–11
; otherwise, the OCXO will be improperly
calibrated. A typical rubidium time standard will meet the required stability.
