The System Module

The System is a module containing the hardware configuration of a given test system as well as commands associated with the unique configuration of that system. The System reflects the currently installed instruments and their configurations, such as the instrument interface (for example, GPIB) and its address.

A System may contain zero, one or more driver shortcuts residing under the System's Drivers folder.

The Driver shortcuts contain the name of the Driver (for example, DMM), the Driver file name, and configuration properties such as the device address of its interface.

The System contains submodules such as Procedures and Variables, which can be used by the project programs if marked as public. Unlike Program variables, System variables retain their values throughout the life of the application.
