Performs shunt calibration for the specified channels using a bridge sensor.

Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png shunt source —

    shunt source specifies which shunt to use.

    Default (-1)

    Use the default shunt.

    User Provided (10167)

    Use an external shunt.

    Built-In (10200)

    Use the internal shunt.

  • ci32.png shunt select —

    shunt select specifies which shunt calibration switch to enable.

    A (12513)

    Switch A.

    B (12514)

    Switch B.

  • cdbl.png bridge resistance —

    bridge resistance specifies the bridge resistance in ohms. A value of -1 means to use the nominal bridge resistance specified when you created the virtual channel.

  • cgenclassrntag.png task/channels in —

    task/channels in is the name of the task or a list of virtual channels to which the operation applies. If you provide a list of virtual channels, NI-DAQmx creates a task automatically.

  • cgenclassrntag.png channels —

    channels is a subset of virtual channels in the task that you want to calibrate. Use this input if you do not want to calibrate all the channels in the task or if some channels in the task measure non-bridge-based sensors. If the input is empty, this VI attempts to calibrate all virtual channels in the task.

  • cdbl.png shunt resistance —

    shunt resistance specifies the shunt resistance in ohms.

  • ci32.png shunt element location —

    shunt element location specifies the location of the shunt resistor.

    R1 (12465)

    Between VCH- and VEX+.

    R2 (12466)

    Between VCH- and VEX-.

    R3 (12467)

    Between VCH+ and VEX-.

    R4 (14813)

    Between VCH+ and VEX+.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.

    The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

  • cbool.png skip unsupported channels —

    skip unsupported channels specifies whether or not to skip channels that do not support calibration. If skip unsupported channels is TRUE, this VI calibrates only supported channels. If FALSE, this VI calibrates the channels specified by channels. The default is FALSE.

  • igenclassrntag.png task out —

    task out is a reference to the task after this VI or function runs. If you wired a channel or list of channels to task/channels in, NI-DAQmx creates this task automatically.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces.

    Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
