Software Requirements

Calibrating the NI 5122/5124/5142 requires installing NI-SCOPE on the calibration system. 
Refer to Table 1 for the hardware-specific version to use with your device. You can download 
the NI-SCOPE

 

instrument driver from the Instrument Driver Network Web site at 

ni.com/

idnet

. NI-SCOPE

 

supports programming a

 

Self-Calibration and

 

an External Calibration in the 

LabVIEW and C application development environments (ADEs). When you install NI- SCOPE, 
you only need to install support for the ADE that you intend to use.
