Reset Device

Resets the device to its initial state and reloads the FPGA. Use this node to re-enable your device if it has disabled itself because the device temperature has risen above its optimal operating temperature.

All channels and front panel terminals are put into a high-impedance state. All software attributes are reset to their initial values. The entire contents of the FPGA and EEPROM files are reloaded.

During a device reset, signal routes between this and other devices are released, regardless of which device created the route. For instance, a trigger signal being exported to a PXI trigger line and used by another device is no longer exported.

Generally, using the Resetnode is acceptable in place of the Reset Devicenode. The Resetnode executes more quickly.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

session in

Instrument session obtained from the Initialize Acquisition Sessionnode, the Initialize Generation Sessionnode, or the Initialize External Calibrationnode.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

datatype_icon

session out

Handle that identifies the session in all subsequent node calls.

The session out parameter is obtained from the Initialize Acquisition Sessionnode or the Initialize Generation Sessionnode.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
