Self Calibrate

Self calibrates the device.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

session in

Instrument handle that identifies your calibration session.

This parameter is obtained from the niHSDIO Initialize External Calibrationnode

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

datatype_icon

session out

Session handle that passes a reference to your calibration session to the next node.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Calibrating your hardware

On the PXIe-6555/6556, self-calibration may take between 15 and 20 minutes. Do not disable the device or LabVIEW during this time. You must use this node to self-calibrate your PXIe-6555/6556.

During self-calibration of PXIe-6555/6556 devices, the device conducts an analog voltage calibration and a digital timing calibration.

During self-calibration of the PXI-6541/6542,PXI-6551/6552, and PXI-6561/6562 devices, the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) phase D/A converters are recalibrated.

Note The PXI-6544/6545/6547/6548 devices do not require calibration. For these devices, calling this node or function just resets the device.
