DAQmx Switch Find Path

DAQmx - Data Acquisition VIs and Functions

DAQmx Switch Find Path

Returns information about the path between switch channel 1 and switch channel 2. If the channels are connected, this VI returns the connection path. If the channels are not connected, the VI returns the shortest available connection path if a path is available.

civrn.gif switch channel 1 is the first channel in the connection. A DAQmx switch name constant lists all switch channels available on devices installed in the system.
civrn.gif switch channel 2 is the second channel in the connection. A DAQmx switch name constant lists all switch channels available on devices installed in the system.
cerrcodeclst.gif error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
cbool.gif status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
ci32.gif code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a negative error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
cstr.gif source identifies where an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
istr.gif path is the existing path or an available path between switch channel 1 and switch channel 2. This path uses the same syntax as a connection or disconnection list, and you can wire it directly to the DAQmx Switch Connect VI or the DAQmx Switch Disconnect VI.
ii32.gif path status is the status of the requested path.

channel in use (10434) Path between the two endpoints is not available because another connection is already using a channel needed for routing.
channel reserved for routing (10436) One of the endpoint channels is reserved for routing.
path already exists (10432) The channels are already connected by path.
path available (10431) path returns the available path between the channels.
path unsupported (10433) No path is available between the channels. You might need to reserve more channels for routing in order to create an available path.
source channel conflict (10435) No path is available between the two channels because connecting the channels would directly or indirectly connect two source channels.
ierrcodeclst.gif error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
ibool.gif status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
ii32.gif code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
istr.gif source identifies where and why an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
