Format
daqCalSetupConvert(handle, nscan, readingsPos, nReadings, chanType,
chanGain, startChan, bipolar, noOffset, counts, scans)
Purpose
daqCalSetupConvert both configures and performs the calibration of the specified data.
Parameter Summary
Parameter Type Description
handle DaqHandleT Handle to the device to be calibrated
nscan DWORD Number of channels in a single scan
readingsPos DWORD Position of the readings to be calibrated within the scan
nReadings DWORD Number of readings to calibrate
chanType DcalType Type of channel/board from which the readings to be calibrated are
read
chanGain DaqAdcGain Gain setting of the channels to be calibrated
startChan DWORD Channel number of the first channel to be converted
bipolar BOOL If true, the DaqBook/DaqBoard is configured for bipolar readings;
if false, it is configured for unipolar readings
noOffset BOOL If true, the offset calibration constant will not be used to calibrate
the readings; if false, the offset calibration will be used
counts PWORD Raw data from one or more scans
scans DWORD
Number of scans of raw data in the counts array
Parameter Values
handle: obtained from the daqOpen function
nscan: the number of channels in the scan group configuration (see daqAdcSetScan)
readingsPos: the position of the channels to calibrate within the scan (see daqAdcSetScan)
nReadings: the number of readings to calibrate from 1 to 4,294,967,295; however, memory limitations
may apply
chanType: see table below
chanGain: s ee ADC Gain Definition table for chanGain parameter definitions
startChan: must be a valid device channel within the scan group definition (see daqAdcSetScan)
bipolar: valid values are either true (
≠ 0) or false ( = 0)
noOffset: valid values are either true (
≠ 0) or false ( = 0)
counts: a valid pointer to an array of uncalibrated scan data whose size must be at least equal to
(scans * scan size * 2)
scans: the number of scans to be calibrated from 1 to 4,294,967,295; however, memory limitations may
apply
