Making a Connection

In this topology, you can connect channels by calling the niSwitch Connect Channels VI or the niSwitch_Connect function.

To connect the CHnx terminal to the COMx terminal, disconnect the previously connected terminal from the COMx.

For example, to connect ch1A to comA, call niSwitch_Connect (vi, "ch1A", "comA"). If you now want to connect ch2A to comA, first disconnect the existing connection. The sequence of calls for this task is as follows: 

niSwitch_Disconnect (vi, "ch1A", "comA") 
niSwitch_Connect (vi, "ch2A", "comA")
Note All channels are disconnected from COM when the module is in its power on state.

When scanning the module, a typical scan list entry could be ch1A->comA;. This entry routes the signal connected to CH1A to COMA.
