Software

Calibrating NI 6738/6739 devices and modules requires the installation of NI-DAQmx on the
calibration system. You must use NI-DAQmx 17.6 or later. Refer to the

NI-DAQmx Readme

to

ensure support for the device you want to calibrate. You can download NI-DAQmx from

ni.com/downloads

. NI-DAQmx supports many programming languages, including

LabVIEW, LabWindows

™

/CVI

™

, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET. When you install

NI-DAQmx, you need to only install support for the application software that you intend to use.
