Name

Type the name of the string or numeric parameter used within the driver that you want to add.

The list of named parameters will be available in the Driver Shortcut property box, under the Misc. tab, where you can assign values to the parameters. Pick parameter names which include the type of the parameter, that is, string or numeric, because ATEasy will balk when you attempt to assign a string value to a numeric parameter, or vice versa.

Common Parameters for ATEasy drivers are:

●        Skip On Init - Integer, Set to 1 if you want to skip the driver Initialization usually performed in the driver OnInit event (usually to a later time after other driver parameters are set or read from some external configuration file). Set to 0 or leave empty (default) to initialize the driver when starting to run the application.

●        Slot - Integer, Usually correspond to a PXI instrument Slot number in a PXI chassis. The Slot numbers can be seen in PXI Explorer located under Start menu, Marvin Test Solutions, HW.

●        VisaResource - String, Usually correspond to an instrument that support VISA address  Enter the address ass seen in your VISA resource manager (fe.g. NI-MAX, NI Measurement and Automation Explorer or Agilent Connection) . If Both Slot and VisaResource parameters are specified, you can enter the Slot number and leave this fields empty. See Using VXI Plug&Play Function Panel Drivers for more information.
