Per the subject, I am trying to calibrate and adjust a PXI-7853R card. Following the manual for adjustment it wants me to use nirio78xxCalibrationAdjustExtCal.vi to perform the adjustments on the device. However, when I select initialize and run I receive an error. If I run the adjustment mode and it says the calibration is complete, I try to save the adjustments and then test the readings again and they are extremely worse than before. Also I am not able to even look at the inner workings of these VIs because they are password protected, so I have no idea what or why I am getting errors randomly. Any insight would be great, thanks!

Most of the time (90%?), a password-protected NI VI is just a call to a NI DLL or property/invoke node and nothing else except possible input sanitizations and error cases, that sort of thing. I wouldn't read too much into the password as being the thing preventing you from debugging.
I haven't used one of these myself but I would recommend that to increase your chance of getting assistance from someone who has is to post the exact error(s) you get instead of just saying "when I select initialize and run I receive an error", as well as posting the complete code you're running instead of just describing it. When posting the code, a file is much better than a screenshot, and you should post a version saved back a few releases (I usually go back to 2019).
