LoadCalibrationFile( calFile as String, calibrationIndex as Integer ) as Integer

Loads an F/T transducer calibration file.

Arguments

calFile

In: Path to the calibration (*.cal) file for the transducer you are using. Calibration files are named like 'FTxxxx.cal', where 'xxxx' is the serial number printed on your transducer or it's power-supply box.

calibrationIndex

In: The calibration within the file to use. Should be 1 if there is only one calibration in the file (Most .cal files have only one calibration in them).

Returns

0 if successful, nonzero if not successful.

Side Effects

Resets the output units to whatever the calibration file specifies. If the hardware acquisition task is currently running, make sure to restart it (i.e. via StartSingleSampleAcquisition) before attempting to read f/t values. Otherwise, the temperature compensation, voltage range, etc. may not be correct for the system you are using.
