© National Instruments Corporation 13 NI PXI-5422 Calibration Procedure
External Calibration Procedures
The complete external calibration procedure consists of self-calibrating,
verifying the performance of the NI PXI-5422, adjusting the calibration
constants, and verifying again after the adjustments. In some cases, the
complete calibration procedure may not be required. Refer to the External
Calibration Options section for more information.
The external calibration procedure automatically stores the calibration date
to allow traceability.
Writing Your Calibration Procedure
Before you begin to write your calibration program, review the
programming flows in Figures 1 and 2.
Calibration Procedures in LabVIEW
To write calibration procedures in LabVIEW, you must use the
VIs included in the
niFgen.llb file. After installation, these VIs
appear within the NI-FGEN Calibration palette under Functions»
Instrument I/O»Instruments Drivers»NI-FGEN»Calibration.
Calibration Procedures in LabWindows/CVI
To write calibration procedures in LabWindows/CVI, you must use the
functions included in the
niFgen.fp file. After installation, you can locate
the calibration functions under the Calibration class node.
Calibration Procedures in C
To write calibration procedures in C, you must include the niFgen.h
file in the code that calls the calibration functions, and you must link
the
niFgen.lib file into the build of your executable.
