Calculates the calibration constants for the voltage measurements returned by the niDCPower Measure VI for the specified channel.

This VI compares the array in reported outputs to the array in measured outputs and calculates the calibration constants for the voltage measurements returned by the niDCPower Measure VI.

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 in an external calibration session.

Note NI-DCPower uses the terms "source" and "output". However, while sinking with electronic loads and SMUs these correspond to "sinking" and "input", respectively.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cdbl.png range —

    range specifies the range to calibrate with these settings.

  • civrn.png instrument handle —

    instrument handle identifies a particular instrument calibration session. instrument handle is obtained from the niDCPower Initialize External Calibration VI.

  • cstr.png channel name —

    channel name specifies the channel to which these calibration settings apply. Only one channel at a time can be calibrated.

  • cu32.png number of measurements —

    number of measurements specifies the number of elements in requested outputs and measured outputs.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • c1ddbl.png reported outputs —

    reported outputs specifies an array of the output values that were returned by the niDCPower Measure VI.

  • c1ddbl.png measured outputs —

    measured outputs specifies an array of the output values measured by an external precision digital multimeter.

  • iivrn.png instrument handle out —

    instrument handle out passes the handle used to identify the session in all subsequent NI-DCPower VI calls.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
