niFgen_CalAdjustCalADC

NI-FGEN C Function

niFgen_CalAdjustCalADC

ViStatus niFgen_calAdjustCalADC (ViSession vi, ViReal64[] voltagesMeasuredExternally, ViReal64[] voltagesMeasuredWithCalADC);

Purpose

Calculates calibration constants pertaining to the gain and offset of the onboard calibration ADC. During external calibration, you can generate voltages and measure them both externally and with the calibration ADC. Pass the measured voltages to this function to allow NI-FGEN to calculate the appropriate calibration constants and store them in the onboard EEPROM when the calibration session is committed.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
vi ViSession Identifies your instrument session. vi is obtained from the niFgen_InitExtCal function and identifies a particular instrument session.
voltagesMeasuredExternally ViReal64[] Specifies an array of analog output voltages measured with an external instrument.
voltagesMeasuredWithCalADC ViReal64[] Specifies an array of analog output voltages measured with the onboard calibration ADC.

Return Value

Name Type Description
Status ViStatus Returns the status code of this operation. The status code either indicates success or describes an error or warning condition. You can examine the status code from each call to an NI-FGEN function to determine if an error occurred. To obtain a text description of the status code, call the niFgen_error_message function. To obtain additional information about the error condition, call the niFgen_GetError function. To clear the error information from NI-FGEN, call the niFgen_ClearError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:

Value Meaning
0 Success
Positive Values Warnings
Negative Values Errors
