NI PXI-5404 Calibration Procedure
Calibration Procedures in C
To write calibration procedures in C, you must include the
niArbCal.h
file in the code that
calls the calibration functions, and you must link the
niArbCal.lib
file into the build of your
executable.
Calibration Procedures in LabVIEW
To write calibration procedures in LabVIEW, you must use the VIs included in the
niHSSources_Cal.llb
. This library contains a VI for each function exported by the
niArbCal.dll
, as well as other useful functions. After installation, all of these VIs appear
within the Legacy Calibration palette under
Functions»Measurement I/O»NI-FGEN»
Calibration»Legacy Device Calibration»Calibrating the 5404
. The NI HSSources
Calibration palette also contains example VIs that illustrate how to use the calibration functions.
Calibration Procedures in Visual Basic
To write calibration procedures in Visual Basic, complete the following steps:
1.
Configure the project to reference the
niArbCal.dll
by selecting
Project»References
from the menu bar.
2.
Click
Browse
and navigate to your system directory.
3.
Find and select
niArbCal.dll
.
4.
Click
