UseSpecificSimulation

IVI Library

Ivi_UseSpecificSimulation

Usage

ViBoolean = Ivi_UseSpecificSimulation(ViSession vi);

Purpose

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

Use Ivi_UseSpecificSimulation in the high-level functions in specific and class instrument drivers. Ivi_UseSpecificSimulation provides fast, convenient access to the IVI_ATTR_USE_SPECIFIC_SIMULATION 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_IN_SPECIFIC attribute for the session. This attribute controls whether the specific driver or the class driver simulates I/O operations when simulation is enabled.

Values:

VI_TRUE (1)Simulate in specific driver
VI_FALSE (0)Simulate in class driver

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