Coupling

niDMM Configure Waveform Coupling

(niDMM_ConfigureWaveformCoupling)

Configures instrument coupling for voltage waveforms on the NI 4070/4071/4072.

niDMM Configure Current Source

(niDMM_ConfigureCurrentSource)

Configures the current source for diode measurements on the NI 4070/4071/4072.

niDMM Configure Frequency Voltage Range

(niDMM_ConfigureFrequencyVoltageRange)

Specifies the expected maximum amplitude of the input signal for frequency and
period measurements on the NI 4070/4071/4072.

niDMM Configure AC Bandwidth

(niDMM_ConfigureACBandwidth)

Configures the Min Frequency and Max Frequency properties that the DMM uses
for AC measurements.

niDMM Configure Offset Comp Ohms

(niDMM_ConfigureOffsetCompOhms)

Allows the NI 4070/4071/4072 to compensate for voltage offsets in resistance
measurements.

niDMM Configure ADC Calibration

(niDMM_ConfigureADCCalibration)

Allows the NI 4070/4071/4072 to compensate for gain drift since the last external or 
self-calibration.

niDMM Configure Auto Zero

(niDMM_ConfigureAutoZeroMode)

Configures the DMM for Auto Zero.
