Diagnostics
This chapter provides on the Diag/Service menu in the NI-FBUS
Configurator root menu. The Diag/Service menu provides access to the
Current Output, Loop Test, Trim Analog Output, Device Status, and
AI_Transducer Parameters items.
Note If you are not using the NI-FBUS Configurator, reference the
documentation that came with your host system. ▲
Note This chapter provides instructions using the NI-FBUS Configurator
menus, as this is the preferred way to configure the instrument. Move from
