Configuring the Device for Calibration
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) ships with NI-DAQ and
automatically detects the NI 6110/6111/6115/6120. However, for NI-DAQ
to communicate with the device, you must configure the device in MAX.
For information on configuring an NI 6110/6111 refer to Chapter 2,
Installing and Configuring the NI PCI-6110/6111
,
of the
NI PCI-6110E/6111E User Manual
. For information on configuring an
NI 6115/6120, refer to Chapter 2,
Installing and Configuring the
NI 6115/6120
, of the
NI 6115/6120 User Manual.
The following procedure describes how to configure a device with
NI-DAQ.
1.
Install NI-DAQ. The latest version is available at
ni.com
.
2.
Power off the computer and install the device in an available slot.
3.
Power on the computer and launch MAX.
4.
Configure the device number and click
Test Resources
to ensure the
device is working properly.
You have completed configuring the device for calibration.
Note
When MAX configures a device, it assigns a device number. Each function call uses
this number to identify which DAQ device to calibrate. Make note of this number so that
you have it when you make function calls.
Calibrate_E_Series(deviceNumber,ND_SELF_CALIBRATE,ND_USER_EEPROM_AREA,0)
Get_Cal_Date(deviceNumber,*CalDate)
Calibrate_E_Series(deviceNumber,ND_EXTERNAL_CALIBRATE,ND_USER_AREA,7.5)
Copy_Cal(deviceNumber)
Calibrate_E_Series(deviceNumber,ND_SET_DEFAULT_LOAD_AREA,ND_FACTORY_EEPROM_AREA,0)
