Calibration Utility

Changes the password that is required to initialize an external calibration session. The password can be a maximum of four alphanumeric characters. If you call this function in a session, password is changed immediately. If you call this function in an external calibration session, password is changed only after you close the session using the niDCPower_CloseExtCal function with action set to NIDCPOWER_VAL_COMMIT.

Returns the user-defined information in the device onboard EEPROM.

Returns the maximum number of characters that can be used to store user-defined information in the device onboard EEPROM.

Returns the date and time of the last successful calibration. The time returned is 24-hour (military) local time; for example, if the device was calibrated at 2:30 PM, this function returns 14 for hours and 30 for minutes.

Returns the onboard temperature of the device, in degrees Celsius, during the last successful external calibration.

Returns the recommended maximum interval, in months, between external calibrations.

Returns the date and time of the oldest successful self-calibration from among the channels in the session.

Returns the onboard temperature of the device, in degrees Celsius, during the oldest successful self-calibration from among the channels in the session.

Returns the current onboard temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the device.

Stores a user-defined string of characters in the device onboard EEPROM. If the string is longer than the maximum allowable size, it is truncated. This function overwrites any existing user-defined information.
