TurboT

I have a 1065 chassis filled with NI PXI modules, such as DMM, VSA, VSG, Scopes, Switches etc. I am trying to figure out how to write a generic program to identify all open instrument references, so I can close them. This is handy when trying to rerun code after an error has occured, and for whatever reason, there are still some open (initialized) instrument references. Please advise...thank you.

So then what is reinterpretation? And why does reinterpreting require a temp buffer, and transformations do not?

In the LabVIEW help for Type Cast, the following statement can be found: If the function must reinterpret data instead of transforming it, a temporary buffer is used. What does this mean? I am converting from a DBL to an Integer (U64), and it looks to me the U64 output is the integer representation of the 64-bits that make up the DBL input variable in memory...rather than the DBL's actual numerical value. So which is this...reinterpretation or transformation? And what would be a good example of the other? Thank you...
