Instrument Handle In specifies the session created by the Initialize VI. |

Write Data specifies the data to write to bus. |

Number Of Bytes To Read specifies the number of bytes to read. |

Timeout specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the operation to complete. A value of -1.0 represents an infinite timeout period. This VI returns an error if the time elapses. |

error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

Number Of Bytes Written indicates the number of bytes written to the bus. |

Read Data indicates the data read from the I2C bus. |

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
