Problem:
Can I use NI-DAQmx calls to calibrate my SCXI modules?

Solution:
With NI-DAQmx 8.0 and later you can calibrate some SCXI modules. As of DAQmx 8.5 the supported modules are the:

You can find the VIs specific to calibrating these modules in LabVIEW by following this path on the Functions Palette:
Measurement I/O » DAQmx - Data Acquisition » DAQmx Advanced » DAQmx Calibration » DAQmx SCXI Cal

To better understand the Calibration with DAQmx Method, please look at the SCXI Calibration Tutorial: External Calibration with DAQmx 8.0 and Later

For more information on hardware connections and methods please refer to the SCXI Calibration Procedure Manual for your SCXI Module.

If your device is not one of the supported devices for device calibration, you can perform a System Calibration.
