Software Requirements

Calibrating the SCXI-1503

 

requires installing NI-DAQmx 8.1 or later on the calibration system. 

You can download NI-DAQmx from 

ni.com/downloads

. NI-DAQmx 8.1 or later supports 

self-calibration and external calibration in the LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, C/C++, C#, and 
Visual Basic .NET application development environments (ADEs). When you install NI-DAQmx 8.1 or 
later, you only need to install support for the ADE that you intend to use.
