I would like to get the due date from the VeriStand Calibration so I can prompt the user that a calibration is coming due or is due. I am using VS 2015. It looks like the due date is in the nivscalh file and not in the XML nivscf. I looked at the calibration API's, but couldn't see how to get the date information, only the calibration points. The nivscalh file looks to have the duration and date, but it looks to be in some format I can't read. Is there any API's to get the calibration due date or a way to read the nivscalh for the calibration due date?
Thanks,
Josh

Hello Joshe,
I didn't have an opportunity to test this today, but I foiund the following posts that references a utility to read values frrom calibration files, as such I'm unsure if it provides the needed functionality but it would but it would be a good reference to look into, as it does seems like the Calibration API doesn't have a way for extracting this information.
