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.

Place on the block diagram.

Find on the Functions palette.

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.

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.

	calhandle in is a reference to the calibration session that you created using the DAQmx Initialize External Calibration VI.
	physical channel specifies the physical channel to calibrate.
	gain specifies the gain setting 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. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a negative error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source identifies where an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
	calhandle out is a reference to the calibration session. Wire this output to other external calibration VIs.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source identifies where and why an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.

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.
