 +Note that Revision F of the M1k is calibrated in the Factory and does not need the user to perform any calibration. The purpose of this Document is codify the steps required if the factory settings need to be changed or updated and for the legacy Revision D of the M1k hardware.

 The ADALM1000 device can be calibrated by the user to achieve more accurate measurements and signal generation. The calibration procedure requires a Digital Multimeter (DMM) and a resistor with a value anywhere between 2.5Ω and 25Ω. The ADALM1000 device can be calibrated by the user to achieve more accurate measurements and signal generation.

-There are two methods to store the calibration data into the device: +To store the calibration data into the device: 
-  * Use the //smu// binary by typing in a terminal //smu --calibrate /path/to/cal/file// (or as //smu -/path/to/cal/file//) +  * Use the //smu// binary by typing in a terminal //smu --write-calibration /path/to/cal/file// (or as //smu -/path/to/cal/file//)
-  * Use the calibrate python script in the examples directory for the libsmu python bindings (or manually use the support via the python bindings).+

 +=====Semi-automated Procedure=====
 +The [[:university:tools:m1k:alice:self-calibration-user-guide|ALICE 1.3 DeskTop Software]] includes a semi-automated method to calibrate the ADALM1000 using the AD584 precision 2.5 V reference from the ADALP2000 Analog Parts Kit. Just wire up an AD584 for a 2.5 V output, powered from the fixed 5V supply from the ALM1000 and follow the steps as outlined in the ALICE desktop user's guide. No DMM needed (except to maybe verify the output of the AD584).
