Appendix A Calibration
A.1 Overview
The PCI-1720U card uses eight variable resistors (VRs), two for each
channel, which allow you to calibrate each of the card’s four output chan-
nels. The following information outlines the function of each VR. Refer
to the illustration shown below for the locations of the PCI-1720U’s VRs.
