This subpalette includes advanced functions for controlling the state of NI-XNET sessions, connecting hardware terminals, and retrieving information about the XNET hardware in your system.

XNET Start VI
Starts communication for the specified XNET session.
XNET Stop VI
Stops communication for the specified XNET session.
XNET Clear VI
Clears (closes) the XNET session.
XNET Flush VI
Flush all queues for this session. This discards the values in those queues. With the exception of single-point modes, all sessions use queues to store frames. For input modes, the queues store frame values (or corresponding signal values) that have been received, but not obtained by calling the XNET Read VI. For output sessions, the queues store frame values provided to the XNET Write VI, but not transmitted successfully. The XNET Start VI and XNET Stop VI have no effect on these queues. Use this XNET Flush VI to discard all values in the session's queues. For example, if you call the XNET Write VI to write three frames, then immediately call the XNET Stop VI, then call the XNET Start VI a few seconds later, the three frames transmit. If you call the XNET Flush VI between the XNET Stop VI and XNET Start VI, no frames transmit.
XNET Connect Terminals VI
Connects terminals on the XNET interface.
XNET Disconnect Terminals VI
Disconnects terminals on the XNET interface.
XNET Terminal
This constant provides the constant form of the XNET Terminal I/O name. You drag a constant to the block diagram of your VI, then select a terminal. You can change constants only during configuration, prior to running the VI.
XNET Future Time Trigger VI
Provides the future timestamp for an exported Time Trigger.
XNET System Property Node
The XNET System property node provides information about all NI-XNET hardware in your system, including all devices and interfaces.
XNET Device Property Node
Property node used to read/write properties for an XNET Device I/O name.
XNET Interface Property Node
Property node used to read/write properties for an XNET Interface I/O name.
XNET Interface
This constant provides the constant form of the XNET Interface I/O name. You drag a constant to the block diagram of your VI, then select an interface. You can change constants only during configuration, prior to running the VI.
XNET Blink VI
Blinks LEDs for the XNET interface to identify its physical port in the system. The Details also provide information on how LEDs blink while a session is in use.
XNET System Close VI
Closes the XNET system to refresh XNET hardware information.
XNET Convert VI
Converts signal to frame data, or frame to signal data.
