User's Manual
4.1 Functions Palette
The NI SCM functions palette (block diagram), found under "Powertrain Controls\Software Calibration
Management", consists of VIs that can be used to enhance NI SCM functionality. The top left VI on the
palette is used to manage the general functions of NI SCM (SCM Init). The rest of the VIs are separated
into sub-palettes based on functionality. The target utilities palette contains a collection of VIs to be used
in target applications and interface with the core NI SCM functionality . The host utilities palette contains a
collection of VIs designed to run in host VI and interface with the NI SCM console. The CalPoints palette
holds the different types of CalPoints. The adapt points palette may be used to modify control values from
the target application while the target is running. Fault points are found on the fault points palette.
NI SCM Functions Palette
SCM Init Source.vi
The SCM Init VI must be used once and only once in the top level real-time VI. The SCM Init VI is an
express VI and serves two main functions. The first function is a collection and dialog display of all
the CalPoints in the target application. This dialog runs on the host computer before the application is
deployed to the target. It locates all of the CalPoints in a real-time application and builds an internal
table which is used during run-time. All of the CalPoints are checked for errors and any errors found are
reported to the user within the dialog. The SCM Init Configuration Dialog must be opened before deploying
the real-time application if any CalPoints are added, removed or modified since last opening the dialog.
Failure to open the configuration dialog after making CalPoint changes will result in undefined behavior.
The configuration dialog box opens automatically when the user drops the SCM Init VI or when the user
double clicks on the VI.
