I'd recommend to adjust the CV outputs with a wide spread (e.g. 0/5V). The
difference has to be as close as possible to 5.00V (e.g. +0.016 and +5.016V
or -0.03 and +4.97V), the absolute values are not important. The CV values
in between are defined by the precision (linearity) of the used DAC and
cannot be adjusted.

Best wishes
