5.

Call 

niScope_InitiateAcquisition

. (niScope Initiate 

Acquisition VI) with the following parameter:

vi

: The instrument handle you obtained from 

niScope_init

6.

Call 

niScope_FetchMeasurement

 (niScope Fetch 

Measurement VI) with the following parameters:

channelList

"0"

timeout

1.0

scalarMeasFunction

NISCOPE_VAL_DC_ESTIMATE

7.

Call 

niScope_ConfigureChanCharacteristics

 

(niScope Configure Chan Characteristics VI) with the following 
parameters:

channelList

"0"

inputImpedance

NISCOPE_VAL_1_MEG_OHM

maxInputFrequency

0

8.

Call 

niScope_InitiateAcquisition

 (niScope Initiate 

Acquisition VI) with the following parameter:

vi

: The instrument handle you obtained from 

niScope_init

9.

Call 

niScope_FetchMeasurement

 (niScope Fetch 

Measurement VI) with the following parameters:

channelList

"0"

timeout

1.0

scalarMeasFunction

NISCOPE_VAL_DC_ESTIMATE

10. Calculate the bias current using the following formula:

where

a

 = the voltage measured in step 6

b

 = the voltage measured in step 9

1,000,000 is the NI 5922 impedance in ohms

Compare the resulting bias current to the value listed in the 

Calibration 

Test Limits

 column or the 

Published Specifications

 column in Table 5

If the result is less than the selected test limit, the device has passed this 
portion of the verification.
