XNET Create Session.vi

XNET Create Session.vi

Purpose

Creates an XNET session to read/write data on the network.

Description

The XNET session specifies a relationship between National Instruments interface hardware and frames or signals to access on the external network (cluster). The XNET session also specifies the input/output direction and how data is transferred between your application and the network. For more information about NI-XNET concepts and object classes, refer to Interfaces, Databases, and Sessions.

Use this VI to create a session at run time. Run-time creation is useful when the session configuration must be selected using the front panel. If you prefer to create a session at edit time (static configuration), refer to LabVIEW Project Provider.

The instances of this polymorphic VI specify the session mode to create:

• Signal Input Single-Point
• Signal Input Waveform
