Reverification

Repeat the 

Verification

 section to determine the as-left status of the PXIe-5164.

Note

 

If any test fails reverification after performing an adjustment, verify that you

have met the test conditions before returning your PXIe-5164 to NI. Refer to the 

Worldwide Support and Services

 section for information about support resources or

service requests.

Updating Verification Date and Time

This procedure updates the date and time of the last PXIe-5164 verification.

Prior to updating the verification date and time, you must successfully complete all required
verifications or reverifications following adjustment.
Call the niHSAI Calibration API v1 Host.lvlib:Set Verification Date and Time VI with the
following settings:

Wire the current date and time to the 

verification date

 parameter.

Wire the current calibration password to the 

calibration password

 parameter. The

default password is 

NI
