Initialize External Calibration
Creates and initializes a special NI-FGEN external calibration session.
Flags are set that allow you to program an external calibration procedure using calibration-specific properties and nodes. However, the session can also be used to configure the waveform generator using normal properties and nodes not specific to calibration.
Inputs/Outputs
resource name
The instrument name. For example, "PXI1Slot3," where "PXI1Slot3" is an instrument name assigned by Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
You can wire in the name of an IVI logical name or an IVI virtual name configured with the IVI Configuration utility. A logical name identifies a particular virtual instrument. A virtual name identifies a specific instrument and specifies the initial settings for the session.
All IVI names, such as logical names, are case-sensitive. If you use logical names, driver session names, or virtual names in your program, you must ensure that the name you use matches the name in the IVI Configuration Store file exactly, without any variations in the case of the characters.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error
password
Calibration password required to open an external calibration session to the waveform generator.
session out
Reference to your instrument session to wire to the next node.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
Hardware Support
This node does not support the PXI-5404, which uses different calibration nodes. Refer to the calibration procedure for the PXI-5404 for more information.
