Purpose

Gets a property for the object referenced by the reference in terminal. The poly VI selection determines the property to get.

Format

Input

Name specifies an individual channel within the task defined by reference in. The default (unwired) value of name is empty, which means the property applies to the entire task, not a specific channel. If a property relates to Measurement or Characteristic channels and does not apply to the entire task, but an individual channel or message within the task, you must wire the name of a Measurement or Characteristic channel from channel list into the name input. For other properties you must leave name unwired (empty).
Reference in is the reference to any opened A2L database, a selected ECU, or an ECU which is already connected (with MC Database Open.vi, MC ECU Select.vi, MC ECU Open.vi, or MC ECU Connect.vi). The type of this reference depends on the property you want to get.
Error in is a cluster which describes error conditions occurring before the VI executes. If an error has already occurred, the VI returns the value of the error in cluster to error out.
status is TRUE if an error occurred. This VI is not executed when status is TRUE.
code is the error code number identifying an error. A value of 0 means success. A negative value means error: VI did not execute the intended operation. A positive value means warning: VI executed intended operation, but an informational warning is returned. For a description of the code, wire the error cluster to a LabVIEW error-handling VI, such as the Simple Error Handler.
source identifies the VI where the error occurred.

Output

Reference out contains an ECU M&C task reference which can be wired through subsequent ECU M&C VIs.
Value is a poly output value that returns the property value. You select the property returned in value by selecting the poly VI type. The data type of value is also determined by the poly VI selection. For information about the different properties provided by MC Get Property.vi, refer to the Poly VI Types table in the Description section. To select the property, right-click the VI, go to Select Type, and select the property by name.
Error out describes error conditions. If the Error in cluster indicated an error, the Error out cluster contains the same information. Otherwise, Error out describes the error status of this VI.
status is TRUE if an error occurred.
code is the error code number identifying an error. A value of 0 means success. A negative value means error: VI did not execute the intended operation. A positive value means warning: VI executed intended operation, but an informational warning is returned. For a description of the code, wire the error cluster to a LabVIEW error-handling VI, such as the Simple Error Handler.
source identifies the VI where the error occurred.
