Use the NI-FGEN Cal Utility VIs to get information about previous calibrations, store information, or password protect the external calibration data on your board.

niFgen Get Self Cal Supported VI
Returns whether the device supports self-calibration.
niFgen Restore Last Ext Cal Constants VI
Overwrites the current calibration constants with those from the last successful external calibration. This action effectively undoes any self-calibrations performed since the last time an external calibration was performed.
niFgen Get Ext Cal Recommended Interval VI
Returns the recommended interval between external calibrations in months.
niFgen Get Self Cal Last Date And Time VI
Returns the date and time of the last successful self-calibration. The time returned is 24-hour (military) local time; for example, if the device was calibrated at 2:30 PM, this VI returns 14 for the hours parameter and 30 for the minutes parameter.
niFgen Get Self Cal Last Temp VI
Returns the temperature at the last successful self-calibration. The temperature is returned in degrees Celsius.
niFgen Read Current Temperature VI
Reads the current onboard temperature of the device. The temperature is returned in degrees Celsius.
niFgen Get Ext Cal Last Date And Time VI
Returns the date and time of the last successful external calibration. The time returned is 24-hour (military) local time; for example, if the device was calibrated at 2:30 PM, this VI returns 14 for the Hour parameter and 30 for the Minute parameter.
niFgen Get Ext Cal Last Temp VI
Returns the temperature at the last successful external calibration. The temperature is returned in degrees Celsius.
niFgen Get Cal User Defined Info VI
Retrieves user-defined information from the onboard EEPROM.
niFgen Set Cal User Defined Info VI
Stores user-defined information in the onboard EEPROM.
niFgen Change Ext Cal Password VI
Changes the password that is required to initialize an external calibration session. The password may be up to four characters long.
