NI PXIe-6674T Calibration Procedure

c. Call niSync Close VI to close the session handle.

Proceed with the following steps to find the correct oscillator control voltage.
2. After setting the control voltage, measure the frequency again with the NI-Sync Measure 

Frequency VI, as shown in step 1 of the 

Measuring the Frequency

 section.

3. Compare the measured frequency to the device specifications.
4. If the measured frequency is still outside of the specified limit, repeat steps 1 to 3 of the 

Adjustment

 section until the measured value falls within the acceptable frequency range for 

your module, as shown in Table 3, 

Adjustment Target Frequency Ranges

. Adjust the 

oscillator control voltage up to increase the frequency and down to decrease the frequency.

5. Commit the calibration values to the Calibration EEPROM using the following procedure.

a. Call niSync Initialize External Calibration VI to initialize the process.

password, use your user-selected calibration password in place of
