Calibration

External Calibration

External calibration calibrates the onboard references used in self-calibration and the external trigger levels. All calibration constants are stored in nonvolatile memory.

Self-Calibration

Self-calibration is done on software command. The calibration corrects for gain, offset, triggering, and timing errors for all input ranges.

Software

Driver Software

Driver support for this device was first available in NI-SCOPE3.1.

NI-SCOPE is an IVI-compliant driver that allows you to configure, control, and calibrate the PXI-5105. NI-SCOPE provides application programming interfaces for many development environments.

Application Software

NI-SCOPE provides programming interfaces, documentation, and examples for the following application development environments:

  • LabVIEW
  • LabWindows™/CVI™
  • Measurement Studio
  • Microsoft Visual C/C++
  • .NET (C# and VB.NET)

Interactive Soft Front Panel and Configuration

When you install NI-SCOPE on a 64-bit system, you can monitor, control, and record measurements from the PXI-5105 using InstrumentStudio.

InstrumentStudio is a software-based front panel application that allows you to perform interactive measurements on several different device types in a single program.

Note InstrumentStudio is supported only on 64-bit systems. If you are using a 32-bit system, use the NI-SCOPE–specific soft front panel instead of InstrumentStudio.

Interactive control of the PXI-5105 was first available via InstrumentStudio in NI-SCOPE18.1 and via the NI-SCOPE SFP in NI-SCOPE14.1. InstrumentStudio and the NI-SCOPE SFP are included on the NI-SCOPE media.

NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) also provides interactive configuration and test tools for the PXI-5105. MAX is included on the driver media.

TClk Specifications

You can use the NI TClk synchronization method and the NI-TClk driver to align the Sample clocks on any number of supported devices, in one or more chassis. For more information about TClk synchronization, refer to the NI-TClk Synchronization Help, which is located within the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help. For other configurations, including multichassis systems, contact NI Technical Support at ni.com/support.

Intermodule SMC Synchronization Using NI-TClk for Identical Modules

Specifications are valid for modules installed in one NI PXI-1042 chassis. These specifications do not apply to PCI modules. Specifications are valid under the following conditions:

  • All parameters are set to identical values for each SMC-based module.
  • Sample clock set to 60 MS/s.
  • All filters are disabled.
Note Although you can use NI-TClk to synchronize non-identical modules, these specifications apply only to synchronizing identical modules.
