niHSDIO_InitGenerationSession
Specific Function
C Function Prototype
ViStatus niHSDIO_InitGenerationSession (ViRsrc resourceName, ViBoolean idQuery, ViBoolean resetInstrument, ViConstString optionString, ViSession* vi);
Purpose
Call this function to create a new generation session. You can perform static and dynamic generation operations with this session.
Creating a new session does not automatically tristate your front panel terminals or channels that might have been left driving voltages from previous sessions (refer to niHSDIO_close for more information about leaving lines driving after closing a session).
Pass VI_TRUE into the resetInstrument parameter to place your device in a known start-up state when creating a new session. This action is equivalent to calling niHSDIO_reset, and it tristates the front panel terminals and channels.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| resourceName | ViRsrc | Specifies the device name, for example "Dev1" where "Dev1" is a device name assigned by Measurement & Automation Explorer. | ||
| idQuery | ViBoolean | Specifies whether the driver performs an ID query upon the device. When this parameter is
set to VI_TRUE, NI-HSDIO ensures
compatibility between the device and driver. Defined Values VI_TRUE (1)—Perform ID query. VI_FALSE (0)—Skip ID query. Default Value: VI_FALSE |
||
| resetInstrument | ViBoolean | Specifies whether the driver resets the device during initialization of the session.
Refer to niHSDIO_reset for more
information about what happens during a device reset. Defined Values VI_FALSE (0)—Do not reset device. VI_TRUE (1)—Reset device. Default Value: VI_FALSE
|
||
| optionString | ViConstString | Currently unused. Set this string to "". | ||
| vi | ViSession | Returns a VISession handle. Use this handle to identify the device in all subsequent instrument driver function calls related to your generation operation. |
