Initializes the host VI by creating a connection to the execution host on which the SIT Server is running. This VI also opens all the necessary models that the host VI specifies.

	Path to Config File specifies the path to the data logging and playback configuration file.
	Model Path specifies the path to the model.
	hostname specifies the name of the computer on which the SIT Server is running. The default value is localhost.
	port specifies the TCP/IP port on hostname on which the SIT Server is running. The default value is 6011.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	Path to Driver VI specifies the local path to the driver VI you want to download to the real-time (RT) target. Note  Wire a value to this input only when you download the simulation model to an RT target.
	Path to Model DLL specifies the local path to the model DLL you want to download to an RT target. Note  Wire a value to this input only when you download the simulation model to an RT target.
	SIT Reference out returns information about the current simulation. TCP Connection returns the TCP reference for the current connection to the SIT Server. Model Name returns the name of the current model. Server Type returns the type of execution host on which the SIT Server is running. 0 Simulation Environment—(Default) Specifies that the SIT Server is running on an execution host that is running the MATLAB® application software. 1 MATRIXx—Specifies that the SIT Server is running on an execution host that is running Xmath. The LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit does not currently support this option. 2 RT—Specifies that the SIT Server is running on a real-time (RT) target.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
