Interchangeability Checking

National Instruments IVI Driver

Interchangeability Checking

IVI drivers have a feature called interchangeability checking. Interchangeablility checking verifies that your program produces the same behavior when used with a different instrument.

Enable interchangeability checking by completing one of the following procedures:

  • Refer to Configuring Your System In MAX to enable interchangeability checking in MAX.
  • Set the value of the interchangeability checking attribute to VI_TRUE in your program.
  • Set the interchangeability checking attribute to VI_TRUE in the option string parameter of the InitWithOptions function or Initialize With Options VI.

When interchangeability checking is enabled, the driver queues interchangeability warnings when it encounters instrument configurations that might not produce the same behavior when you use a different instrument. Use NI Spy to view these warnings or call the Get Next Interchange Warning function.
