NI-DNET Objects

The Explicit Messaging Object, Interface Object, and I/O Object topics describe each NI-DNET object, list the functions which can be used with the object, and describe each of the object's driver attributes. The description of each object is structured as follows:

Description

Gives an overview of the major features and uses of the object.

Functions

Lists each NI-DNET function which can be used with the object. For information on how each NI-DNET function is used with the object, refer to NI-DNET Functions.

Driver Attributes

Lists and describes the NI-DNET driver attributes for each object. The driver attributes are listed in alphabetical order.

For each driver attribute, the description lists its data type, attribute ID, and permissions. Driver attribute permissions consist of one of the following:

Get	You can get the attribute at any time using ncGetDriverAttr, but never set it.
Set	You can get the attribute at any time using ncGetDriverAttr. You can set the attribute using ncSetDriverAttr, but only prior to starting communication using ncOperateDnetIntf.
