Returns a session handle used to identify the switch module in all subsequent instrument driver calls and sets the topology of the switch module.
This VI creates a new IVI instrument driver session for the switch module specified in the resource name parameter. NI-SWITCH uses the topology specified in the topology name parameter and overrides the topology specified in MAX.
By default, the switch module is reset to a known state.
Enable simulation by specifying the topology and setting the simulate parameter to True.
