Creates and returns a new session to the specified digital pattern instrument to use in all subsequent node calls.

Inputs/Outputs

option string

The initial values of certain properties for the NI-Digital Pattern Driver session. The string can be empty.

You can use the DriverSetup flag to simulate a digital pattern instrument. When simulating a digital pattern instrument, you must specify the model you want to simulate. For example, Simulate = 1, DriverSetup = Model:6570.

resource name

Resource name of the instrument to initialize. IVI logical names can be valid resource names.

Assigning Resource Name

For example, PXI1Slot3, where PXI1Slot3 is an instrument resource name.

This parameter accepts a comma-delimited list of strings in the form PXI1Slot2,PXI1Slot3, where PXI1Slot2 is one instrument resource name and PXI1Slot3 is another. When including more than one digital pattern instrument in the comma-delimited list of strings, list the instruments in the same order they appear in the pin map.

Note You only can specify multiple instruments of the same model. For example, you can list two PXIe-6570s but not a PXIe-6570 and PXIe-6571. The instruments must be in the same chassis.

ID query

A Boolean that verifies that the digital pattern instrument you initialize is supported by NI-Digital. NI-Digital automatically performs this query, so setting this parameter is not necessary.

True	The instrument you are initializing is supported by NI-Digital.
False	The instrument you are initializing is not supported by NI-Digital.

Default value: True

reset

A Boolean that specifies whether to reset a digital pattern instrument to a known state when the session is initialized. Setting the reset value to TRUE is equivalent to calling the niDigital Reset node immediately after initializing the session.

True	The digital pattern instrument resets to a known state when the session is initialized.
False	The digital pattern instrument does not reset to a known state when the session is initialized.

Default value: True
