This VI runs on SystemLink Server without additional configuration information.

configuration id

Name of the configuration you want to connect to the SystemLink master or SystemLink Server. If you leave the configuration id unwired, Open Configuration uses the default configuration.

error in

Error conditions that occur before this VI runs. The VI responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

verify server?

A Boolean that determines whether this VI will verify the connection is secured by a valid certificate. The default value is True.

This input also allows local connections over HTTP in addition to HTTPS connections.

HTTPS only?

A Boolean that determines whether to use only an HTTPS connection. If set to True, your data services only communicate with the SystemLink Server over an HTTPS connection. The default value is True.
Note If the server is configured to use HTTP instead of HTTPS, you have to set the value to False or this VI returns an error. Furthermore, using HTTP remotely insecurely exposes credentials and data to the network.

HTTP configuration out

HTTP connection to the server.

error out

Error information. This VI produces this output according to standard error behavior.
