National Instruments NI PXI-5422 Calibration Utilities

Calibration Utilities

NI-FGEN supports several calibration utilities that allow you to retrieve

information about adjustments performed on the NI PXI-5422, restore an

external calibration, change the external calibration password, and store

small amounts of information in the onboard EEPROM. You can retrieve

some data using MAX or the FGEN SFP; however, you can retrieve all

the data using NI-FGEN.

To retrieve data using MAX, complete the following steps:

1. Launch MAX.

2. Select the device from which you want to retrieve information from

My System»Devices and Interfaces»NI-DAQmx Devices.

3. Select the Calibration Tab on the lower right corner.

You should see information about the last dates and temperature for

both external and self-calibration.

To retrieve data using the FGEN SFP, complete the following steps:

1. Launch the FGEN SFP.

2. Select the device from which you want to retrieve information using

the Device Configuration dialog box (Edit»Device Configuration).

3. Open the Calibration dialog box (Utility»Calibration).

You should see information about the last dates of both external and

self-calibration.
