niSwitch Initialize With Topology
Returns a session handle used to identify the switch module in all subsequent NI-SWITCH calls and sets the topology of the switch module.
niSwitch Initialize with Topology creates a new IVI instrument driver session for the switch module specified in the resource name parameter. NI-SWITCH uses the topology specified in the topology name parameter and overrides the topology specified in MAX.
By default, the switch module is reset to a known state.
Enable simulation by specifying the topology and setting the simulate parameter to True.

resource name specifies the resource name of the switch module to initialize. Syntax: Optional fields are shown in square brackets ([]).
Default values for optional fields:
The following table lists example resource names:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
topology name specifies the topology to use for the switch module specified in resource name. Create a control for topology name to select from a list of topologies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
reset device specifies whether to reset the switch module during the initialization process.
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||

error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.
The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurs before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

simulate enables simulation of the switch module specified in resource name.
If simulate is TRUE, the module and topology specified in topology name is simulated. If topology name is not specified, the module specified in the resource name is simulated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
instrument handle out identifies a particular NI-SWITCH session established with niSwitch Initialize With Topology, niSwitch Initialize With Options or niSwitch Initialize and used for all subsequent NI-SWITCH calls. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces.
Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
