Calibration

Self-calibrates the device. During self-calibration of NI 6541/6542, NI 6551/6552, and NI 6561/6562 devices, the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) phase D/A converters are recalibrated. During self-calibration of NI 6555/6556 devices, the device conducts an analog voltage calibration and a digital timing calibration.

Note  NI 6544/6545/6547/6548 devices do not require calibration. For these devices, calling this VI or function just resets the device.

Note  On NI 6555/6556 devices, self-calibration may take between 15 and 20 minutes. Do not disable the device or LabVIEW during this time. You cannot self-calibrate your NI 6555/6556 in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). You must use this VI to self-calibrate your NI 6555/6556.

Use the External Calibration VIs to perform external calibration operations.

Use the Calibration Utility VIs to access calibration utility operations.
