IviPwrMeter Calibrate [CAL]

IviPwrMeterCalibration Capability Group

This VI performs calibration on the specified sensor. This VI returns only after the sensor has been calibrated. You may use the IviPwrMeter Is Calibration Complete [CAL] VI to determine when the calibration is complete.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviPwrMeter Initialize or IviPwrMeter Initialize With Options VIs.
channel name The name of the channel to calibrate.

Pass the virtual channel name that you assign to the instrument in the Configuration Utility.

Virtual channel names are aliases for instrument-specific channel strings. The instrument-specific channel strings can differ from one instrument to another. Virtual channel names allow you to use and swap instruments without having to change the channel names in your source code. You assign a virtual channel name to an instrument-specific channel through the Configuration Utility. This control accepts virtual channel names you have assigned to the specific instrument you are using. It also accepts the instrument-specific channel names.

Default Value: ""
error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviPwrMeter Initialize or IviPwrMeter Initialize With Options VIs.
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
