Using IVI driver how to do self calibration of NI DMM Card

Hi
 
I am using the IVI driver calls to program NI DMM 4070 card using VC++ ..
 
I want to calibrate the NI DMM card and for that no function is provided in the Driver calls of IVI.
 
I am able to calibrate using the NI specific driver calls..
 
Can u suggest me how to do that.
 
 
Regards
Naveen

Naveen,

It doesn't appear that there is an IVI call for self-calibration. It may not be part of the IVI standard, but I haven't been able to look into that. One thing to consider, though, is that you don't want to run the self-cal repeatedly. At the most, you'd want to do it once a day at the most. So if this code is running more often than that, you could write a separate program with just the NI-DMM calls to self-calibrate the board and run that once a week or so. Is that a possibility?
