Handshaking Initiation

Short name: Handshaking Initiation

This property allows you to start handshaking with a measurement device.

Measurement_Device_Initiated

niSwitch Initiate Scan does not return until the switch hardware is waiting for a trigger input. This ensures that if you initiate the measurement device after calling niSwitch Initiate Scan, the switch is sure to receive the first measurement complete (MC) signal sent by the measurement device. The measurement device should be configured to first take a measurement, send MC, then wait for scanner advanced output signal. Thus, the first MC of the measurement device initiates handshaking.

Switch_Initiated

niSwitch Initiate Scan returns immediately after beginning scan list execution. It is assumed that the measurement device has already been configured and is waiting for the scanner advanced signal. The measurement should be configured to first wait for a trigger, then take a measurement. Thus, the first scanner advanced output signal of the switch module initiates handshaking.
