If the file defined for
CabCompFile
does not exist, or there is no path specified (null string), the
default compensation parameters are used. When entering the path, use two backslash (
\\
)
characters to separate each directory. For example, if your cable file is in
C:\calfiles\590cal.dat
, you enter the following:
C:\\calfiles\\590cal.dat
If a switch matrix to route signals is being controlled by a connection action (for example,
connect
),
there is no need to connect
InputPin
and
OutPin
. Set these parameters to
0
.
The value of ((
LastBias
−
FirstBias
) /
StepV
) +1 must be less than or equal to the
Csize
,
Vsize
,
G_or_Rsize
, and
Tsize
parameters.
For
Range
, the measurement range values are shown in the following table.
