Takes the error cluster returned by the NI-DMM VIs, interprets it, and returns it as a user-readable string.

Resets the DMM to a known state and sends initialization commands to the DMM. The initialization commands set the DMM to the state necessary for the operation of NI-DMM. All user-defined default values associated with a logical name are applied after setting the DMM.

Places the instrument in a quiescent state where it has minimal or no impact on the system to which it is connected. If a measurement is in progress when this VI is called, the measurement is aborted.

Returns the coercion information associated with the IVI session, and it retrieves and clears the oldest instance in which NI-DMM coerced a value you specified to another value.

Returns the interchangeability warnings associated with the IVI session. It retrieves and clears the oldest instance in which the class driver recorded an interchangeability warning. Interchangeability warnings indicate that using your application with a different instrument might cause different behavior.

Clears the list of current interchange warnings.

When developing a complex test system that consists of multiple test modules, it is generally a good idea to design the test modules so that they can run in any order. To do so requires ensuring that each test module completely configures the state of each instrument it uses. If a particular test module does not completely configure the state of an instrument, the state of the instrument depends on the configuration from a previously executed test module.
