Initialize With Topology
Returns a session handle used to identify the switch module in all subsequent instrument driver calls and sets the topology of the switch module.
By default, the switch module is reset to a known state.
Inputs/Outputs
simulate
Boolean value that enables simulation of the switch module specified in resource name.
| TRUE | Enables simulation of the switch module. |
| FALSE (Default) | Disables simulation of the switch module. |
Default value: False (0)
resource name
Resource name of the switch module to initialize.
Syntax
Optional fields are shown in square brackets ([]). The default values for optional fields are as follows:
chassis ID = 1
bus number = 0
| Configured in MAX Under | Valid Syntax |
|---|---|
| Devices and Interfaces | DeviceName |
| PXI System | PXI[bus number]::device number |
Resource Name Examples
The following table lists example resource names.
| Resource Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SC1Mod3 | NI-DAQmx module in chassis SC1 Slot 3 |
| MySwitch | NI-DAQmx module renamed to MySwitch |
| PXI0:16 | PXI bus 0, device number 16 |
| PXI::16 | PXI bus 0, device number 16 |
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error
topology name
Topology to use for the switch module specified in resource name. Create a control for topology name to select from a list of topologies.
This topology overrides the topology specified in MAX.
reset device
Boolean value that specifies whether to reset the switch module during initialization.
| TRUE (Default) | Specifies to reset the switch module during initialization. |
| FALSE | Specifies that the switch module is not reset during initialization. |
Default value: TRUE (1)
session out
Indicator that identifies a particular NI-SWITCH session established with the niSwitch Initialize With Topology node, the niSwitch Initialize With Options node, or the niSwitch Initialize node and used for all subsequent NI-SWITCH calls.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
