ABSTRACT:
An icon in a graphical programming language that will communicate with many different instruments. The Multi-Device Direct I/O object allows the control of multiple instruments using the instruments's built-in commands. The Multi-Device Direct I/O object (icon) allows each separate transaction within the object to address a separate instrument. The I/O Transaction dialog box associated with each transaction contains two new fields, a device field and an address field. The device field contains the name of all of the currently configured instruments or devices. The address field has two modes: Default Address and Address. The Default Address mode chooses the address entered in the Configure I/O dialog box. The Address mode causes the user to enter in another address or a variable or expression that evaluates to a valid address. The Multi-Device Direct I/O object allows for any instrument, on any interface (i.e., GPIB, RS232, and VXI interface) and can handle multiple I/O paths.
