DAQmx Add Network Device VI

device IP address/hostname specifies the string containing the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) or hostname of the device to add to the system.

attempt device reservation? indicates if a reservation should be attempted after the device is successfully added. By default, this parameter is set to false.

device name indicates the name to assign to the device. If unspecified, NI-DAQmx chooses the device name.

timeout specifies the time in seconds to wait for the device to respond before timing out.

error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.

The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

device out is the name of the device the operation applied to.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces.

Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
