vi = contains a session handle to the instrument. This handle is obtained by the function and remains valid until the
session is closed.
channels = an input integer array containing a list of channel numbers for which the completion resistor
configuration will be set. Valid input values: 0 to 47.
numberOfChannels = the size of the channels list. Valid input values: 1 to 48.
completionResistorMode = an integer input value indicating the desired completion resistor mode. See Description
below for possible values. Valid input values: 0, 3, 4, 120, or 350.

Referring to the "Full" completion resistor is a bit of a misnomer – it really represents a short in the leg of the bridge
circuit that contains the completion resistor. It is used in Full- and Half-Bridge mode.
