- Type: NationalInstruments.VeriStand.SystemDefinitionAPI.CustomDevice
The custom device to add.
Return Value
true (True in Visual Basic) if the CustomDevice was added successfully.
Remarks
This method only adds the CustomDevice to a system definition. This method does not add sections or channels that belong to the custom device or set properties of the custom device. Even for pre-built custom devices included with NI VeriStand, such as the Embedded Data Logger, you must use members of the CustomDevice class to add a CustomDeviceChannel or a CustomDeviceSection and to set properties of the CustomDevice separately from adding the custom device to the system definition.
