AOCAL
Gets the manufacturer calibration date and time.
Refer to the device-specific information in the Hardware Reference section for the component properties
and commands supported by each DAQ device.
Properties
START, STATUS
START
 Start the D/A internal calibration. This operation calibrates the analog outputs and writes calibration
factors to the board.
Message
"?AOCAL:START"
Response "AOCAL:START"
Note Once the "AOCAL:START" message is sent, no other messages other than
"?AOCAL:STATUS" may be sent until the calibration process is complete.
STATUS
 Get the status of the D/A internal calibration.
Message
"?AOCAL:STATUS"
Response "AOCAL:STATUS=value""
value RUNNING, IDLE
AOSCAN
Sets and gets property values when scanning analog output channels.
Refer to the device-specific information in the Hardware Reference section for the component properties
and commands supported by each DAQ device.
Properties
BUFSIZE, CAL, COUNT, EXTPACER, HIGHCHAN, INDEX, LOWCHAN, RANGE, RATE, SAMPLES, SCALE,
START, STATUS, STOP
BUFSIZE
 Set the size in bytes of the buffer used for analog output scanning operations.
Message
"AOSCAN:BUFSIZE=value"
Response "AOSCAN:BUFSIZE"
value The size in bytes of the output buffer.
Example "AOSCAN:BUFSIZE=65536"
Notes The default buffer size is 65536 bytes. This should be sufficient for most applications.
The actual buffer size will always be an integer multiple of the device's maximum
packet size.
 Get the size of the buffer used for AOSCAN.
Message
"?AOSCAN:BUFSIZE"
Response "AOSCAN:BUFSIZE=value"
