Get Last Calibration Temperature
Returns the onboard temperature, in degrees Celsius, of an SMC-based oscilloscope at the time of the last self-calibration or external calibration.
The temperature returned by this node is an onboard temperature read from a sensor on the surface of the oscilloscope. This temperature should not be confused with the environmental temperature of the oscilloscope surroundings. During operation, the onboard temperature is normally higher than the environmental temperature.
Temperature-sensitive parameters are calibrated during self-calibration. Therefore, the self-calibration temperature is usually the more important temperature to read.
Inputs/Outputs
session in
The instrument handle that you obtain from Initialize External Calibration. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.
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
which temperature
The calibration temperature to return, either the self-calibration or external calibration temperature.
| External Calibration | 0 | Returns the temperature taken during external calibration. |
| Self Calibration | 1 | Returns the temperature taken during self-calibration. |
session out
Reference to the NI-SCOPE instrument session to pass to the next node in the program.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
temperature
The temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the last successful calibration.
