readings. It does, however, increase the measurement time.

If CabCompFile does not exist, or if there is no path specified (null string), the default compensation
parameters are used. When entering the path, be sure to use two \ characters to separate each
directory. For example, if your cable file is in:
C:\calfiles\82cal.dat
You would enter:
C:\\calfiles\\82cal.dat
If you are controlling a switch matrix to route signals using a connection UTM (for example,
“connect”), you do not need connect InputPin and OutputPin. Set these parameters to 0.
