Create Configuration List

Creates an empty configuration list.

Calling this node allocates space for each of the configuration list properties. Use the Active Configuration List property to enable a configuration list created by this node.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

session in

Instrument session obtained from Initialize With Options.

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

  • NI-RFSG Property Node Behavior

    When you use the NI-RFSG Property Node to set one of the configuration list properties, that property is set as one of the configuration list steps. Use the Active Configuration List Step property to specify which configuration list step to configure.

    datatype_icon

    set as active list

    Boolean value that indicates whether the configuration list is active.

    NI recommends that you set this input to True when creating the list.

    True This configuration list is the active configuration list.
    False This configuration list is not the active configuration list.
    datatype_icon

    session out

    Reference to your instrument session passed to the next node.

    datatype_icon

    error out

    Error information.

    The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
