Get Information Operation (Switch Executive Mode)

In Switch Executive mode, use the Get Information operation to find routes and determine whether the virtual device is debounced. You must specify an expression that contains a variable or property to which the step assigns the retrieved value.

The Find Route section in this dialog box takes two Endpoint channels as inputs and returns a route string and enumerated status value. The Channel 1 and Channel 2 controls specify the Endpoint channels to use when finding the route.

The Get Information operation contains the following options, which are located in the Find Route section:

• Channel 1 —Specifies one endpoint as input to find a route.
• Channel 2 —Specifies one endpoint as input to find a route.
• Destination —A variable or property to which the step assigns the value that indicates the resulting route string. If a connection exists or if a connection can possibly be made between the two passed channels, the route string contains information that specifies the route.
• Status —A variable or property to which the step assigns a status value.

  Supported Value	Description
  Channel Not Available (6)	Specifies that the driver cannot create a path between the two channels because one of the channels is a Configuration channel and thus unavailable for external connections.
  Path Available (1)	Specifies that the driver can create a path at this time.
  Path Exists (2)	Specifies that the explicit path between the channels already exists.
  Path Unsupported (3)	Specifies that the instrument is not capable of creating a path between the two channels.
  Resource In Use (4)	Specifies that, although the path is valid, the driver cannot create the path at this moment because the switch module is currently using one or more of the required channels to create another path. You must destroy the other path before creating this one.
  Source Conflict (5)	Specifies that the instrument cannot create a path between the two channels because both are connected to a different Source channel.

• Is Debounced —A variable or property to which the step assigns the status of whether the switches are debounced.
