Using Custom Scales and Calibration Files in VeriStand

To use the custom scales and calibration files setup in VeriStand, complete the following steps:
  1. Use the VeriStand System Explorer to specify scaling and/or calibration.
    Refer to Scaling a Channel on Hardware Devices and Calibrating a Hardware Channel at Run Time in the VeriStand Manual for more information.
  2. Note the name of the calibration file used in your VeriStand project.
    The file name should have a .nivscf or .nivscal extension.
  3. Copy the calibration file from your VeriStand project into the test station package folder.
  4. Add a CalibrationAndScales property to the test station XML configuration file.
    The property value should be a path and file name that directs to the calibration file, where the path is relative to the test station XML configuration file. For example, CalibrationAndScales="calibration.nivscf".
    Refer to Test Station Package XML Conventions for more information.
