This example shows how Multi-Device Sessions work in NI-SCOPE.
NI-SCOPE 19.1 and later have the ability to specify multiple devices inside a single session. This allows the user to give configure multiple channels across multiple devices, all with the same configuration, channel characteristics, etc. This example introduces the two channel naming conventions: unqualified names (0, 1, etc) and fully qualified names (Dev1/0, Dev2/1, etc). While either name is appropriate with single-device sessions, multi-device sessions require the use of fully qualified names. If the user wants to use unqualified names instead, the Get Channel Name From String vi can be used to convert an unqualified name to the corresponding fully qualified name.
Hardware: Multiple PXI oscilloscopes of the same model in the same PXI chassis
Software: NI-SCOPE 19.1 or later
1. Specify each oscilloscope, separating each device name with a comma.
2. Configure desired acquisition settings, including the "Inputting Fully Qualified Names?" boolean.Set this to true if your
3. If your channel names are fully qualified (such as "Dev1/0"), set "Inputting Fully Qualified Names?" to true. If not, set it to false.
4. Run the VI.
5. Click Stop to stop the VI.
5. Notice that the List of Channel Names array populates with a list of valid names for Channel Name.
