Ivi_Simulating
Usage
ViBoolean = Ivi_Simulating(ViSession vi);
Purpose
This function returns the current value of the IVI_ATTR_SIMULATE attribute for the session you specify.
Use Ivi_Simulating in the high-level functions in specific and class instrument drivers. Ivi_Simulating provides fast, convenient access to the IVI_ATTR_SIMULATE attribute because it does no error checking and does not lock the session.
 | Note Do not call this function unless you have already locked the session. |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vi | ViSession |
The ViSession handle that you obtain from Ivi_SpecificDriverNew. The handle identifies a particular IVI session. |
Return Value
Returns the value of the IVI_ATTR_SIMULATE attribute for the session. This attribute determines whether or not to simulate instrument driver I/O operations.
Values:
| VI_TRUE (1) | Simulate |
| VI_FALSE (0) | Do not simulate |
If you pass an invalid session handle to the function, this parameter returns VI_FALSE.
