How Can I Do Self Calibration in LabVIEW for Legacy Signal Generators (5401, 5411, 5431)?

Hardware: Signal Sources (AWG/FG/AO), Signal Sources (AWG/FG/AO)>>Arbitrary Waveform and Function Generators

Problem:
I notice that the niFgen Self Cal.vi will do self calibration for all later NI Signal Generators (5421, 5422, etc). How can I do the same self calibration procedure for legacy signal generators (5401, 5411, 5431)?

Solution:
The niHSSources Cal Self Calibrate.vi is the legacy equivalent of the niFgen Self Cal.vi.

The reason for separate VI's is because in both instances, the niFgen driver sits on an underlying DAQ driver. The DAQ driver for the 5401, 5411, and 5431 is the legacy DAQ driver, while later signal generators are built upon the newer DAQmx driver architecture.
