34. Close the instrument driver session and save the calibration date and
temperature by calling the niFgen Close Ext Cal VI.
Adjusting the Analog Output
The analog output adjustment procedure has several sub-procedures that
adjust the following:
•
Main path pre-amplifier offset
•
Main path pre-amplifier gain
•
Main path post-amplifier gain and offset
In each of these sub-procedures, you put the device in several
configurations and take several output measurements. You then pass
these measurements to NI-FGEN, which determines the calibration
constants for the device.

Function Call
Call
niFgen_CloseExtCal
using the following parameters:
vi
: The session handle returned from
niFgen_InitExtCal
.
action
: If the external adjustment
procedure completed without any
errors, use
NIFGEN_VAL_EXT_CAL_
COMMIT
. This function stores the new
calibration constants, updated
calibration dates, updated calibration
temperatures in the onboard
EEPROM.
If any errors occurred during the
external adjustment procedure, or if
you want to abort the operation, use
NIFGEN_VAL_EXT_CAL_
ABORT
. This function then discards
the new calibration constants and
does not change any of the calibration
data stored in the onboard EEPROM.
