6.

Configure the DMM in digitizer mode as shown in Table 3.

7.

Acquire samples using the DMM.

8.

Calculate the amplitude of the acquired signal and record as 

Amplitude

OUT

. NI recommends 

using the Extract Single Tone Information VI to calculate the amplitude.

9.

Calculate the residual offset of the acquired signal and record as 

ResidualOffset

NI recommends using the Extract Single Tone VI to export the residual signal. The residual 
offset is the average of the residual signal.

10. Connect the DMM as shown in Figure 3.

11. Repeat steps and 8, and record the amplitude of the acquired waveform as 

Amplitude

IN

.

12. Perform the following calculation using the recorded 

Amplitude

OUT

 from step 8 and 

Amplitude
