This VI completes the following tasks:

- Creates a new IVI instrument driver session.

- Opens a session to the device you specify for the Instrument Descriptor parameter.

- If the ID Query parameter is set to TRUE (1), this VI queries the instrument ID and checks that it is valid for this instrument driver.

- If the Reset parameter is set to TRUE (1), this VI resets the instrument to a known state.

- Sends initialization commands to set the instrument to the state necessary for the operation of the instrument driver.

- Returns a ViSession handle that you use to identify the instrument in all subsequent VIs.

This VI completes the following tasks:

- Creates a new IVI instrument driver session and optionally sets the initial state of the following session properties: Range Check, Query Instrument Status, Cache, Simulate, and Record Value Coercions.

- Opens a session to the device you specify for the Instrument Descriptor parameter. If the ID Query parameter is set to TRUE (1), this function queries the instrument ID and checks that it is valid for this instrument driver.

- If the Reset Device parameter is set to TRUE (1), this VI resets the instrument to a known state.

- Sends initialization commands to set the instrument to the state necessary for the operation of the instrument driver.

- Returns a ViSession handle that you use to identify the instrument in all subsequent instrument driver function calls.

Closes the specified session and deallocates resources that it reserved.

Use the NI-DMM Configuration VIs for hardware-specific configuration and control.

Use the NI-DMM Acquisition VIs to acquire data from a measurement.

Use the NI-DMM Calibration VIs to perform a self-calibration or external calibration on the DMM.

Use the NI-DMM Utility functions for optional functionality in your application.
