niSync Initialize External Calibration (VI)

Installed With: NI-Sync

Begins an external calibration session for the specified device. The VI returns an instrument driver session handle that you can use to adjust calibration constants for the module or read current calibration constants stored in the device's non-volatile memory. You must close the external calibration session using niSync Close External Calibration.

Note  You must supply the external calibration password of the module for the operation to succeed. Refer to your device's calibration documentation for the default external calibration password.

niSync Initialize External Calibration (String)

Use this instance to manually enter a resource name for an external calibration session using a string constant.

resource name specifies the resource name of the device you would like to initialize. You can assign the resource name of a device in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). To display a list of compatible resource names, wire a control or constant to this terminal.

Syntax

PXI[bus number]::device number

VISA aliases are also valid for the resource name.

Examples

Resource name Description
Dev1 DAQmx name (set in MAX)
PXI1Slot5 DAQmx name
PXI0::15::INSTR PXI bus 0, device number 15
PXI::15::INSTR PXI bus 0, device number 15
PXI4::9::INSTR PXI bus 4, device number 9

password ("") specifies the external calibration password for the module. You must enter the correct case-sensitive password exactly as it is stored in the device's EEPROM to begin an external calibration session.

Note  You can change the calibration password using the niSync Change External Calibration Password VI.
