Software Requirements

Calibrating the FD-11601 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx on the calibration system. NI
recommends using the latest NI-DAQmx driver. Earliest driver support version for calibrating
the FD-11601 is listed in the following table.

Table 1. FD-11601 Driver Support

Driver

Earliest Version Support for Device Calibration

 

 

NI-DAQmx

19.0

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 only need to install support for the application
software that you intend to use.
