Details
During a device reset, routes of signals between this and other devices are released, regardless of which device created the route. For example, a trigger signal exported to a PXI trigger line that is used by another device is no longer exported.
- PXI-5610, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672: After calling this VI, the device requires 25 seconds before returning to full functionality. NI-RFSG enforces this condition by adding a wait, if needed, the next time you try to access the device.
