Parameters in: VISA resource name (type: LabVIEWIOControl): Do not impose on the session number to be a mandatory field.

Hi,

As in the subject.

Now to create a session from the TS two arguments are needed:

--device name (address or alias), and

--session number.

However, comparing to LV, LV needs only one of them, the device name. Why two of them have to be different?

It can happen that session number doesn't exist because the session itself doesn't exist yet. So why this field is made mandatory?

Usually, I put any random number there (0-9) and everything works, but it is not a nice coding style.

I think the Session Number field should be set as not mandatory.

I would stay away from passing handles back and forth between LV and TS.  Look at Session Manager (part of the TestStand package) which helps you manage instrument sessions/handles.

I'm declining this idea due to lack of community support.
