Device Settings Module
The Device Settings Module provides functionality for saving and loading device settings to and from file. The file is saved in XML format.
In general, users are recommended to use the utility functions provided
by the APIs instead of using the Device Settings module directly. The
MATLAB API provides ziSaveSettings() and ziLoadSettings() and the
Python API provides zhinst.utils.save_settings() and
zhinst.utils.load_settings. These are convenient wrappers to the
Device Settings module for loading settings synchronously, i.e., these
functions block until loading or saving has completed, the desired
behavior in most cases. Advanced users can use the Device Settings
module directly if they need to implement loading or saving
asynchronously (non-blocking).
Device Settings Module Node Tree
The following section contains reference documentation for the settings and measurement data available on the device settings module.
Since these settings and data streams may be written and read using the LabOne APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) this section is of particular interest to users who would like to perform measurements programmatically via LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, .NET or C.
COMMAND
Read, Write String None The command to execute: 'save' = Read device settings and save to file; 'load' = Load settings from file an write to device; 'read' = Read device settings only (no save).
