Opens an external calibration session for the specified device.

This VI returns an error if you specify a device that is not supported by this calibration library. This VI also downloads the calibration bitstream to the device FPGA if not already present.

Supported Devices:

  • PXIe-5110
  • PXIe-5111
  • PXIe-5113

Inputs/Outputs

  • civrn.png resource name —

    resource name identifies the device to perform an external calibration on.

  • cstr.png external cal password —

    external cal password is the calibration password for the device. This password is required to perform external calibration, set the calibration due date, and set the date and time of verification.

    The default password is NI.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

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

  • inclst.png external cal session —

    external cal session returns a new external calibration session reference for the device specified by resource name. Use this reference as an input to other external calibration VIs in this library.

  • iu32.png session —

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

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