4-126 Agilent E6432A Microwave Synthesizer User’s Guide
The exact grammar to use for this parameter is as follows:
VXI[board]::logical address[::INSTR]
Optional fields are shown in square brackets ([ ]). If you do not
specify a value for an optional field,
board=0 and secondary address=none
idQuery
Variable Type ViBoolean
This parameter is ignored and the instrument ID is always checked.
reset
Variable Type ViBoolean
This parameter specifies whether or not the instrument driver performs
a reset.
Valid Range:
• VI_TRUE (1) - reset (Factory Preset Value)
• VI_FALSE (0) - Don't Reset (unless necessary because state is
undefined)
• if the driver is already open by an application and the reset
parameter is set to VI_TRUE, the Initialize function resets the
instrument to a known state
• if the driver is not open, a reset is always performed regardless of the
reset parameter value
instrumentHandle
Variable Type ViSession (passed by reference)
Returns a ViSession handle that is used to identify the instrument in
all subsequent instrument driver function calls.
NOTE This function creates a new session each time it is invoked. This is
useful if you have multiple physical instances of the same type of
instrument.
NOTE Avoid creating multiple concurrent sessions to the same physical
instrument. Although you can create more than one Agilent
Technologies VISA session for the same resource, it is best not to do so.
A better approach is to use the same Agilent Technologies VISA session
in multiple execution threads.
