Inputs/Outputs
instrument handle
—
instrument handle identifies a particular NI-SWITCH session established with the niSwitch Initialize With Topology VI, the niSwitch Initialize With Options VI, or the niSwitch Initialize VI.
error code (0)
—
error code is the status code returned by any NI-SWITCH VI. Default value: 0
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. With the following exception, this input provides standard error in functionality. This node runs normally even if an error occurred previously. If an error occurred before this node runs, the node passes the error in value to error out, and no errors that occur while this node runs are recorded. If an error occurs while this node runs and no error occurred previously, the node sets its own error status in error out. The default is no error.
instrument handle out
—
instrument handle out identifies a particular NI-SWITCH session established with the niSwitch Initialize With Topology VI, the niSwitch Initialize With Options VI, or the niSwitch Initialize VI and used for all subsequent NI-SWITCH calls.

—
