在theSettingsmenu in the bar at the top of the WaveForms window, click onDevice Managerto open the device manager window.

Once the Device Manager window opens, you can explore all of the features of the device manager.

在the top half of the window, the table contains the devices that you can use with WaveForms. If you have a device plugged in, it will appear here.

Plug in your device so that it shows up in the device manager. If it is the only device connected, it will be the only entry in the table that has a serial number.

探索的第一个工具是重命名工具。在the device manager, click on “Rename” at the top left of the screen. Here you can type in a new name for your device. You can use uppercase or lowercase alphanumeric characters.

For example, we named ours “MyDevice”.

The Rename tool can be useful if you have more than one device or are collaborating in a large group where there will be multiple devices present.

在the Device Manager window, click “Calibrate”. This will open the Device Calibration window.

The first tab you will see in the calibration window is the “Calibrate” tab. Here you can see all of the tools that can be calibrated.

There is also the “File” menu where you can save or load an existing calibration file, and the “Reset” menu, which we will talk about later.

The Parameters and References tabs can also be seen. These are the values that define the existing calibration. It is highly recommended that you doNOTmanually change these values. Instead, we will do a full calibration using the Calibration Wizard.

Note:The list of calibrations that can be performed, as seen in the screenshot to the right, is not representative of all devices.

To open the Device Calibration Wizard, click “Wizard” at the top of the Device Calibration Window.

When the wizard opens, the start screen appears, as in the figure to the right, which tells you what you will need in order to calibrate your device. ClickNext.

Note:This calibration is available only on some devices. If does not appear in the calibration wizard, skip ahead toStep 6.

可以在一些设备,这种校准发生entirely within the device itself, and no external connections or measurements need to be made. ClickNextto perform it and continue.

The first thing you'll need to do calibrate is the Wavegen Channel 1 at DC. To do this, connect the Wavegen Channel 1 pin to your digital multimeter.

Connect the device's Wavegen Channel 1 pin to the positive side of the multimeter. For devices with MTE cables, this will be a yellow wire. For devices with BNC cables, this will be the red side of the BNC minigrabber cable set.

Connect the negative side of the multimeter to the device's ground. For devices with MTE cables, this will be a black wire. For devices with BNC cables, this will be the black side of the BNC minigrabber cable set.

Read the value on the multimeter. As indicated by the Calibration Wizard, it should be around 0 V.

Enter the value you read off of the multimeter into the Calibration Wizard, and clickNext.

Repeat this process until the Calibration Wizard indicates to move on to waveform generator 2 (10 total measurements).

Note:Default values in the “Measured” field indicate the expected result of the measurement.

Note:The Analog Discovery Pro (ADP3450/ADP3250) waveform generator is calibrated based on High/Low Range instead of High/Low Gain. The calibration is performed the same way as for other devices and the device should be connected as described.

Create the same circuit as before, using waveform generator 2 instead of waveform generator 1.

To do this, swap out the waveform generator analog output 1 pin with the waveform generator analog output 2 pin. Keep the existing connection between the DMM and the device ground. If using a device with MTE cables, the new connection will be to the yellow wire with white stripes.

Read the value on the DMM, it should be around 0 V. Enter this value into the Calibration Wizard and hitNext.

Repeat this procedure until the Calibration Wizard indicates to move on to Oscilloscope Calibration (10 total measurements).

The next step in the calibration process is to zero the oscilloscope.

As indicated by the Calibration window, connect each of the oscilloscope channels to ground. All channels will be calibrated at the same time, meaning that (if the device uses BNC cables) you will need a BNC oscilloscope probe for each channel.

For example, if using a two-channel device with MTE cables, connect the positive end of Channel 1 (orange cable), positive end of Channel 2 (blue cable), negative end of Channel 1 (orange cable with white stripes), negative end of Channel 2 (blue cable with white stripes), and the ground (black cable).

If using BNC cables, set the attenuation for each BNC probe to 1X.

ClickNextto start the calibration.

The oscilloscope zero calibration is automatic, so all you have to do is wait for it to finish (this may take several minutes). A progress bar indicates how much of this automatic process has been completed. Once it completes, pressNextto continue to the next step.

Next, the oscilloscope will be calibrated, by comparing automatically-taken readings to known voltages output by the waveform generator. The first step is to set up the circuit.

Connect the positive ends of each of the oscilloscope channels to Wavegen Channel 1, and (if the channels are differential) the negative ends of the two channels of the oscilloscope to ground.

MTE cables for analog inputs are colored blue and orange and the negative ends have white stripes.

ClickNextto start the oscilloscope calibration. This is another automatic calibration, so you'll just need to wait for it to finish (this may take several minutes).

Note:This calibration is available only on some devices. If does not appear in the calibration wizard, skip ahead toStep 13.

Frequency compensation occurs wholly automatically. As stated in the wizard, disconnect or ground all scope inputs, and pressNextto run the calibration procedure.

When the calibration is complete, click theExitbutton to exit the calibration wizard.

To complete the calibration, clickFinishorExit.

在the Device Calibration window, clickApply, thenYesin the popup, to confirm the changes.
