Calculates calibration constants pertaining to main analog path output impedance.

During external calibration, you can put the waveform generator in different configurations and take measurements of the resulting output voltage across different loads. Using the configuration data and the measurements, this node calculates the appropriate calibration constants and, when the calibration session is committed, stores them in the onboard EEPROM.

session in

Handle that identifies your instrument session previously allocated by Initialize External Calibration.

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error

If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

channel name

Name of the waveform generator channel that the node uses.

measured source voltage

Analog output voltage measured across a very high-impedance load.

measured voltage across load

Analog output voltage measured across the load impedance specified in the load impedance input.

session out

Reference to your instrument session to wire to the next node.

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
