calling a 32-bit DLL. Many of the functions use constants defined in the

niFgen.h file. To use these constants in C, you must include niFgen.h

in your code when you write the calibration procedure. Refer to Table 1

for file locations.

The calibration process is described in the Self-Calibration Procedures and

the External Calibration Procedures sections, including step-by-step

instructions on calling the appropriate calibration functions.
