Although NI-FGEN includes calibration support, the calibration application programming
interface (API) is separate from NI-FGEN. During verification and adjustment, you use
two APIs: the NI-FGEN API and the NI HSSources API. The NI-FGEN API controls the
module both during normal operation and during the verification procedure. The NI HSSources
API controls the module during the adjustment procedure.
NI-FGEN automatically installs the files listed in Table 2.
