NI 5105 Calibration Procedure
Software
To calibrate the NI 5105, install the following versions of NI-SCOPE.
You can download NI-SCOPE from the Instrument Driver Network at
ni.com/idnet
.
NI-SCOPE supports programming the
programming languages; however, only LabVIEW and C are supported for the
section of this procedure.
NI-SCOPE includes all the functions and attributes necessary for calibrating the NI 5105.
LabVIEW support is installed in
niScopeCal.llb
, and all calibration functions appear in the
function palette. For LabWindows
™
/CVI
™
, the NI-SCOPE function panel
niScopeCal.fp
provides further help on the functions available in CVI. Refer to Table 2 for installed file
locations.
Calibration functions are LabVIEW VIs or C function calls in the NI-SCOPE driver. The
C function calls are valid for any compiler capable of calling a 32-bit DLL. Many of the
functions use constants defined in the
niScopeCal.h
file. To use these constants in C, you
must include
niScopeCal.h
in your code when you write the calibration procedure.
For more information on the calibration VIs and functions, refer to the
NI-SCOPE Function
Reference Help
or the
NI-SCOPE LabVIEW Reference Help
. These references can be found in
the
NI High-Speed Digitizers Help
. Refer to the
NI-SCOPE Readme
for the installed locations
of these documents.
