NI SwitchBlock: NI-SWITCH Example for Single Device Explicit Path Connections

[Frank-L]

Overview

This code uses NI-SWITCH VIs to establish an explicit path connection from one column to another in an NI SwitchBlock device.

Description

The VI first initializes your NI SwitchBlock device and configures it for the topology you specify.  It then makes the connections that you define in the connections list on the front panel.  After waiting for the switch to close, the VI terminates the NI-SWITCH session and handles any errors.

Refer to the NI Switches Getting Started Guide and NI Switches Help for valid channel names and information about connecting signals to your switch module.

Requirements

Software

     LabVIEW 2012(or compatible)

     NI-SWITCH 4.6 (or compatible)

Hardware

     NI SwitchBlock

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

     1.  Select your NI SwitchBlock device name and 'Configured Topology'

     2.  Select the connections that you want to make between your devices

     3.  Run the VI.  The connections specified in your list will be made
