Software Requirements
Calibrating the NI 5622 requires installing the following software on the
calibration system.
You can download NI-SCOPE from the National Instruments web site at
ni.com/updates
. NI-SCOPE supports programming the
Self-Calibration and Verification sections in a number of programming
languages; however, only LabVIEW and C are supported for the
Adjustment section.
NI-SCOPE includes all the functions and attributes necessary
for calibrating the NI 5622. LabVIEW support is installed in
niScopeCal.llb
, and all calibration functions appear in the function
palette. For LabWindows
™
/CVI
™
, the NI-SCOPE function panel
niScopeCal.fp
provides further help on the functions available in CVI.
Refer to Table 2 for installed file locations.
Calibration functions are LabVIEW VIs or C function calls in the
NI-SCOPE driver. 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
niScopeCal.h
file. To use these constants in C, you must include
niScopeCal.h
in your code when you write the calibration procedure.
For more information on the calibration VIs and functions, refer to the
NI-SCOPE LabVIEW Reference Help or the NI-SCOPE Function
Reference Help . These references can be found in the NI High-Speed
Digitizers Help . Refer to the NI-SCOPE Readme for the installed locations
of these documents.
