DAQmx Setup SCXI Calibration

Sets up calibration for SCXI modules. The instances of this polymorphic VI correspond to the SCXI module you want to calibrate. Refer to the calibration procedure for your module for detailed calibration instructions.

Note  After you commit the calibration, you cannot undo it. If any calibration settings are incorrect, you must recalibrate the module.

Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.

1102 

Sets an SCXI-1102 module to the specified gain value for calibration. Measure calibration input and output points by supplying reference signals to the specified physical channel and measuring the outputs. Use the DAQmx Adjust SCXI Calibration VI to specify each input and output point and adjust calibration constants.

Note   The terminal where you can measure module output depends on the configuration of the module in MAX. National Instruments recommends cabling the module to the digitizer so that the output appears on the MCH0± pins of the rear signal connector. Refer to the SCXI-1102/B/C User Manual for more information on the routing of module output.

The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.

1520 

Sets an SCXI-1520 module to the specified gain value for calibration. This VI disables the sample-and-hold circuitry on the module so external devices that cannot supply the appropriate sample-and-hold timing signals can measure the output. Measure calibration input and output points by supplying reference signals to the specified physical channel and measuring the outputs. Use the DAQmx Adjust SCXI Calibration VI to specify each input and output point and adjust calibration constants.

Note   The terminal where you can measure module output depends on the configuration of the module in MAX. National Instruments recommends cabling the module to the digitizer so that the output appears on the MCH0± pins of the rear signal connector. Refer to the SCXI-1520 User Manual for more information on the routing of module output.

	physical channel specifies the physical channel to calibrate.

	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran.

1521 

Configures the specified physical channel on an SCXI-1521 module for calibration. Measure calibration input and output points by supplying reference signals to the specified physical channel and measuring the outputs. Use the DAQmx Adjust SCXI Calibration VI to specify each input and output point and adjust calibration constants.
