For SMC-based digitizers, this VI returns the onboard temperature of the digitizer at the time of the last self-calibration or external calibration, in degrees Celsius.

The temperature returned by this VI is an onboard temperature read from a sensor on the surface of the digitizer. This temperature should not be confused with the environmental temperature of the digitizer's 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 one to read.

Inputs/Outputs

  • civrn.png instrument handle —

    instrument handle is the instrument handle that you obtain from niScope Cal Start. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.

  • ci32.png which temperature —

    which temperature specifies the calibration temperature to return, either the self-calibration or external calibration temperature.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • iivrn.png instrument handle out —

    instrument handle out has the same value as the instrument handle.

  • idbl.png temperature (Celsius) —

    temperature (Celsius) is the returned temperature of the last successful calibration in degrees Celsius.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
