Is Configuration Channel

Short name: Is Configuration Channel

This property specifies whether to reserve the channel for internal path creation. A channel that is available for internal path creation is called a configuration channel. NI-SWITCH may use configuration channels to create paths between two channels you specify in the niSwitch Connect Channels VI. Configuration channels are not available for external connections. Set this property to TRUE to mark the channel as a configuration channel. Set this property to FALSE to mark the channel as available for external connections. After you identify a channel as a configuration channel, you cannot use that channel for external connections. The niSwitch Connect Channels VI returns the Is Configuration Channel error when you attempt to establish a connection between a configuration channel and any other channel.
