b. Call niSync Adjust Oscillator Voltage VI to adjust the voltage of the oscillator.

c. Call niSync Close External Calibration VI to commit the settings and close the 

session.

Reverification

After completing the adjustments to the NI PXIe-6674T, it is important that you verify the 

oscillator frequency operation by repeating the steps listed in the 

Verification

 section. 

Re-verifying after making the adjustments ensures that the NI PXIe-6674T is operating within 

its test limits.
