PXIe-4844 Installation Guide and Specifications
Calibration
The PXIe-4844 has continuous on-board calibration using epoxy-free Telcordia-qualified
optical referencing components and continuous on-board NIST traceable wavelength reference
components to ensure that sensor wavelength measurements remain within specifications over
the life of the product.
Using the NI-OSI Explorer and LabVIEW VIs
The NI-OSI driver software installs the NI-OSI Explorer and the NI-OSI LabVIEW VIs. Use the
NI-OSI Explorer to identify and configure the optical sensors connected to the PXIe-4844. Use
the Optical Measurement VIs in LabVIEW to perform optical sensing measurements. To get
