pxi 6561 memory

[Timothy 123]

I have a pxi 6561 device in the lab for testing ics. When we use the ni hsdio close vi after a session, does it delete all the waveforms that have been written to the memory of the device.

Timothy,

Yes, anytime you close an HSDIO session using niHSDIO Close.vi (or the niHSDIO_close C function), all of the waveforms in memory are deleted.

Hey Timothy... just a quick note.  You can keep a session open and perform numerous operations without calling close.  Once one operation is done, call all the necessary configuration functions you want and call Initiate again.  You can use "Wait Until Done" to ensure that the operation is done before beginning reconfiguration.  This prevents you from having to keep writing waveforms to the device each time.

I hope this helps.
