Software
To calibrate the NI 4130, you must install the NI-DCPower instrument driver version 1.2 or later
on the Windows calibration system. You can download the latest version of NI-DCPower at
ni.com/downloads. NI-DCPower supports LabVIEW and LabWindows
™
/CVI
™
. When you
install NI-DCPower, you need to install only the application software that you intend to use.
LabVIEW support is in the
nidcpower.llb file, and all calibration VIs are accessible from
the NI-DCPower Calibration palette. For LabWindows/CVI users, the nidcpower.fp
provides access to the calibration functions. Refer to Table 1 for file locations.
C function calls are valid for any compiler capable of calling a 32-bit or 64-bit DLL. Many of
the functions use constants defined in the
nidcpower.h file. To use these constants in C, you
must include
nidcpower.h in the calibration program.
For more information about calibration VIs and functions, refer to the Programming with
NI-DCPower book in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help. The NI DC Power Supplies
and SMUs Help is accessible at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-DCPower»
Documentation»NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help.
