Use the NI-DCPower External Calibration VIs to perform an external calibration of the device. Refer to the manual calibration procedure for your device for more information.

niDCPower Initialize External Calibration VI
If password is valid, this VI creates a new IVI instrument driver session to the device specified in resource name and returns an instrument handle you use to identify the device in all subsequent NI-DCPower VI calls. This VI also sends initialization commands to set the device to the state necessary for the operation of NI-DCPower.
niDCPower Close External Calibration VI
Closes the session specified in instrument handle and deallocates the resources that NI-DCPower reserved for calibration.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Voltage Level VI
Calculates the calibration constants for the voltage level for the specified channel.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Voltage Measurement VI
Calculates the calibration constants for the voltage measurements returned by the niDCPower Measure VI for the specified channel.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Current Limit VI
Calculates the calibration constants for the current limit for the specified channel and range.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Current Measurement VI
Calibrates the current measurements returned by the niDCPower Measure VI for the specified channel.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Residual Voltage Offset VI
Calculates the calibration constants for the residual voltage offsets for the specified channel. Residual offsets account for minor offset effects on the device that lie outside of the self-calibration circuitry. These offsets can include multiplexer input offsets and leakage effects from internal switching.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Residual Current Offset VI
Calculates the calibration constants for the residual current offsets for the specified channel. Residual offsets account for minor offset effects on the device that lie outside of the self-calibration circuitry. These offsets can include multiplexer input offsets and leakage effects from internal switching.
niDCPower Connect Internal Reference VI
Connects the Internal Reference to the Calibration Pin / Measurement Channel in preparation for adjustment.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Internal Reference VI
Programs the adjusted reference value to the device.
niDCPower Cal Adjust Output Resistance VI
Compares the array in requested outputs to the array in measured outputs and calculates the calibration constants for the output resistance of the specified channel. Refer to the calibration procedure for the device you are calibrating for detailed instructions on the appropriate use of this VI. This VI can only be called from an external calibration session.
LCR External Calibration
Use the NI-DCPower LCR External Calibration VIs to perform an LCR external calibration of the device. Refer to the manual calibration procedure for your device for more information.
