Overview
    This VI allows the user to run a self calibration on multiple NI PXIe-6556 cards simultaneously.

 

Description

    This example uses LabVIEW's parallel For Loop feature to parallelize multiple self calibrations. When running the self calibration with the NI-HSDIO driver, the self calibration for the NI PXIe-6556 takes roughly 17 minutes. Running multiple devices in parallel saves the user a significant amount of time.

 

Requirements
    Software
        LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
        NI-HSDIO driver which is compatible with your hardware and version of LabVIEW
    Hardware
        NI-HSDIO devices

 

Instructions

  1. Download the example
  2. Be sure the devices are ready to be calibrated
  3. Run the VI
