Perform Offset Null Compensation

The NI PXI-4220 provides offset null compensation circuitry to adjust
signal voltages to proper levels when the strain gauge or bridge sensor is
at rest (unstrained). For most sensors offset null compensation is used to
remove an initial voltage offset from the Wheatstone bridge. If you are
measuring strain, you can use a strain task or global channel to perform
offset null compensation. The offset null compensation is performed during
the configuration of the global channel(s). Refer to the
