Software Requirements
Calibrating the FD-11603 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx on the calibration system. NI
recommends using the latest NI-DAQmx driver. Earliest driver support version for calibrating
the FD-11603 is listed in the following table.
Table 1. FD-11603 Driver Support
Driver Earliest Version Support for Device Calibration
NI-DAQmx 18.5
You can download NI-DAQmx from ni.com/downloads. NI-DAQmx supports many
programming languages, including LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, C/C++, C#, and Visual
Basic .NET. When you install NI-DAQmx, you only need to install support for the application
software that you intend to use.

Test Conditions
The following setup and environmental conditions are required to ensure the FD-11603 meets
published specifications:
• Keep connections to the device as short as possible. Long cables and wires act as
antennas, picking up extra noise that can affect measurements.
• Verify that all connections to the device are secure.
• Use shielded copper wire for all cable connections to the device. Use twisted-pairs wire
to eliminate noise and thermal offsets.
• Maintain an ambient temperature of 23 ±5 °C. The device temperature will be greater
than the ambient temperature.
• Keep relative humidity below 80%.
• Allow a warm-up time of at least 10 minutes to ensure that the FieldDAQ device
measurement circuitry is at a stable operating temperature.
Calibration Procedure
The calibration process includes the following steps:
1. Initial Setup on page 4
2. Verification on page 4
3. Adjustment on page 7
4. EEPROM Update on page 8
5. Reverification on page 8

Initial Setup
Complete the following steps to set up the FieldDAQ device.
1. Install the software and NI-DAQmx driver as outlined in the FD-11603 Quick Start.
Note You must install NI-DAQmx 18.5 or later for device calibration support.
2. Set up the FieldDAQ device as outlined in the FD-11603 Quick Start.
3. Configure the FieldDAQ device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI MAX) as
outlined in the FD-11603 Quick Start.
4. If the FieldDAQ device is not reserved automatically, select the device and click the
Reserve Network Device button. Refer to Reserving the Device in MAX for more
information.
5. Self-test your device in MAX by expanding Devices and Interfaces»Network Devices,
right-clicking your FieldDAQ device, and selecting Self-Test. Self-test performs a brief
test to determine successful device installation. When the self-test finishes, a message
indicates successful verification or if an error occurred. If an error occurs, refer to ni.com/
support/daqmx.
Reserving the Device in MAX
When the FieldDAQ device is connected to a network, multiple users can access the device.
To perform any DAQ functionality on the device, including reset and self-test, you must
reserve the device in MAX. In MAX, an unreserved device or device reserved by another host
appears with an X and a reserved device appears as dark grey. Only one user at a time can
reserve the FieldDAQ device.
If the device was not reserved automatically after it was added (Add Device), you can reserve
the device in MAX by expanding Devices and Interfaces»Network Devices, selecting the
device, and clicking the Reserve Network Device button. The Override Reservation dialog
box opens when you attempt to explicitly reserve a device. Agreeing to override the
reservation forces the FieldDAQ device to be reserved by the current user.
Verification
Complete the following procedure to determine the As-Found status of the FieldDAQ device.
1. Set the calibrator to Standby mode (STBY).
2. Connect the calibrator to Bank 1 of the FieldDAQ device, as shown in the following
figure. Refer to Signal Connector Pinout for signal connection information.

EEPROM Update
When an adjustment procedure is completed, the FieldDAQ device 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:
1. Call the DAQmx Initialize External Calibration function to start a calibration session on
the FieldDAQ device. The default password is NI.
2. Call the DAQmx Set Temperature FieldDAQ Calibration function to input the external
temperature in degrees Celsius.
3. Call the DAQmx Close External Calibration function to end the session. Set the Action
input to Commit.
Reverification
Repeat Verification to determine the As-Left status of the device.
Note If any test fails reverification after performing an adjustment, verify that you
have met all the conditions listed in Test Conditions before returning your device to
NI. Refer to Where to Go for Support for assistance in returning the device to NI.
Accuracy Under Calibration Conditions
The values in the following table are based on calibrated scaling coefficients, which are stored
