What is the best way to Query for a PXI Chassis in TestStand

[glennjammin]

Hi All,

I have some benches that have a PXI Chassis and others without. 

I would like to Query for the Chassis and if it isn't there I will use another method of testing.

Is there a way to query for the chassis and if there is how?

Thanks

Hi,

You could use the VISA Find Resource function. If you get back PXI[bus]::device[::function][::INSTR] or PXI[interface]::[bus-]device[.function][::INSTR] then you have a PXI chassis

Thanks Ray for your response.  I tried something similar (_iviswtch.llb\IviSwtch Initialize.vi) and it worked but I have to close the session right after for the switching to work correctly.  I will try the way you suggested and see if it is a better way to go.

Thanks
