Description
This VI creates an XNET subframe object. It is an instance of the XNET Database Create Object poly VI.
The subframe name input becomes the Name (Short) property of the created object.
The subframe object is created and remains in memory until the database is closed. This VI does not change the open database file on disk. To save the newly created object to the file, use the XNET Database Save VI.
A subframe defines the multiplexer value for all dynamic signals in this subframe. Dynamic signals within a subframe inherit the multiplexer value from the subframe parent.
In NI-CAN, a subframe was called a mode.
