Usage

Purpose

This function returns the current value of the IVI_ATTR_SPY attribute for the session you specify.

Use Ivi_Spying in the high-level functions in class instrument drivers. Ivi_Spying provides fast, convenient access to the IVI_ATTR_SPY 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.

Values:

VI_TRUE (1)Spy on
VI_FALSE (0)Spy off

If you pass an invalid session handle to the function, this parameter returns VI_FALSE.
