Software

  • STS Maintenance Software

Issue Details

4082 will do auto self cal, while P143 4081 won't triger the auto self cal even adding AutoSelfCalMode="Enabled" to 4081 in PXI_Definition.xml. Checked SelfCalibration_Definition.xml that we defined auto self cal when time or temperature intervals
 

Solution

To get 4081 auto-self-cal to run, you will need to change "PXIe-4081" to "NI PXIe-4081" in "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI STS Maintenance\Service\Calibration_Definition.xml".

Additional Information

For MSW 18.0 and Prior versions, the definition is on C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI STS Maintenance\Service\SelfCalibration_Definition.xml:
