Owning Palette: Calibration

Use the NI-DMM External Calibration VIs to perform an external calibration on the DMM.

Palette Object Description
niDMM Initialize External Cal

The following operations are performed if the Calibration Password is valid:

- Creates a new session for external calibration to the device you specify for the Instrument Descriptor parameter.

- Resets the device and prepares the EEPROM for new calibration coefficients.

- Returns a ViSession handle that you use to identify the instrument in all calibration adjustments and post-adjustment verification steps.

niDMM Close External Cal

Performs the specified Action, closes the specified external calibration session obtained from niDMM Initialize External Cal, and deallocates resources that it reserved.

niDMM Cal Adjust Gain

Calibrates the gain coefficient for the supplied Function, Range, and Input Resistance.

niDMM Cal Adjust Offset

Calibrates the offset and Auto Zero offset for the supplied Function, Range, and Input Resistance.

niDMM Cal Adjust AC Filter

(NI 4070/4071/4072 only) Calibrates the filter coefficients used for AC measurements of the supplied Function and Range.

niDMM Cal Adjust Linearization

(NI 4065 only) Compensates for any non-linearities.

niDMM Cal Adjust Miscellaneous

Performs a specialized calibration step depending on the specified Type.

niDMM Cal Adjust LC

For the NI 4072 only, performs a specialized LC calibration step depending on the specified Stage.
