NI 5421/5441 Calibration Procedure

ni.com
Calibration functions are C function calls or LabVIEW VIs in NI-FGEN.
In this document, the C function call is shown first, followed by the
corresponding LabVIEW VI, or NI-FGEN LabVIEW property node,
in parentheses. The C function calls are valid for any compiler capable of
calling a 32-bit DLL. Many of the functions use constants defined in the
niFgen.h
file. To use these constants in C, you must include
niFgen.h
in your code when you write the calibration procedure. Refer to Table 1
for file locations.
The calibration process is described in the
the
External Calibration Procedures
sections, including step-by-step
instructions on calling the appropriate calibration functions.

File Name and Location
Description
IVI\Bin\niFgen_32.dll
The NI-FGEN library, which provides the
functionality for calibrating the
NI 5421/5441.
IVI\Lib\msc\niFgen.lib
IVI\Lib\bc\niFgen.lib
Allows you to create applications that call
functions in the
niFgen_32.dll
:
• For Microsoft Visual C/C++, link to
msc\niFgen.lib
.
• For LabWindows/CVI, link to the library
appropriate to your current compatibility
mode (
msc
for Microsoft Visual C/C++).
IVI\Include\niFgen.h
A header file for the accessible functions in
the
niFgen_32.dll
. You must include this
file in any C code that you write to call these
functions.
<LabVIEW>\instr.lib\niFgen\niFgen.llb
(LabVIEW)
Contains VIs that correspond to the functions
in the
niFgen_32.dll
.
IVI\Drivers\niFgen\niFgen.fpl
(CVI)
Contains the function panels for the functions
in the
niFgen_32.dll
.
