NI 5122/5124 Calibration Procedure
4
ni.com
NI-SCOPE 2.7 or later includes all the functions and attributes necessary
for calibrating the NI 5122/5124. For LabWindows
™
/CVI
™
, the
NI-SCOPE function panel
niScopeCal.fp
provides further help on the
functions available in CVI. LabVIEW support is installed in
niScopeCal.llb
, and all calibration functions appear in the function
palette. Refer to Table 1 for file locations.
Calibration functions are C function calls or LabVIEW VIs in the
NI-SCOPE driver. In this document, the C function call is shown first,
followed by the corresponding LabVIEW VI in parentheses. 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 functions and VIs, refer to the
NI-SCOPE Function Reference Help
or the
NI-SCOPE VI Reference Help
.

NI High-Speed Digitizers Help
