Issue Details

When I create an NI-DAQmx global virtual channel or a task for my NI PCI-6220 (or other Multifunction DAQ device) in NI-MAX, the channel calibration tab appears so that I can calibrate the global virtual channels or tasks I have created. However, when I use the NI DAQPad-6015, I do not see this option. Which DAQ devices support channel calibration?

Solution

The following devices do not support NI-DAQmx virtual channel calibration:

USB DAQ:
  • NI DAQPad-6015
  • NI DAQPad-6016
  • NI USB-600X
B Series DAQ:
  • NI PCI-6010
  • NI PCI-6013
  • NI PCI-6014
All other E Series, M Series, and S Series devices support the calibration tab including the portable M Series devices (NI USB-6251 and NI USB-6259).
