Parameter Type Definitions
chanConfig - DaqCalChanConfigT
Definition Description
DaqCalType dctAdc = 0; dctDac = 1; dctTrigger = 2; dctVref = 3; dctTime = 4 (for time stamp)
channel Channel number to which the equation will be applied
gain Channel gain
flags Channel flags, as applicable
extendedFlags The Channel’s extended flags, as applicable.
tableType - DaqCalTableTypeT
Definition Description
DcttFactory Selects the factory calibration table. The factory calibration table reflects factory calibration
constants for the selected device. This is the default setting.
DcttUser Selects the user-calibration table. The user-calibration table reflects calibration constants defined
by the user or the device’s user-calibration application. Refer to the device’s calibration
documentation for specific settings.
DcttSelfCal Self-calibration constants.
calEquation - DaqCalEquationType
Definition Description
dcetConstant = 0; used to select constant
dcetLinear = 1; used to select linear slope and offset
dcetSplitLinear = 2; slope positive, slope negative; offset
dcetNonZeroSplitLinear = 3; slope positive, slope negative, offset positive, offset negative; split
dcetTime = 4; time stamp: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, milli-second
