Sharing the Hardware

Checkout

To "check out" the shared driver session for use by the 89600 VSA Software, simply set a hardware
parameter or start the measurement. The 89600 does the checkout automatically any time the user
performs an action that requires hardware access. If the shared driver session is not available because it is
checked out to another application, the request times out.
Note that this is different than the way the M90XA X-Series Applications wait patiently for the driver session
to become available, while allowing the user to abort the request at any time.

Check in

To "check in" the shared driver session so that it can be used by other applications, select Control >
Disconnect from the GUI (or Measurements.SelectedItem.SelectedAnalyzer.Disconnect(); from the API).
Note that this is different than the way the M90XA X-Series Applications automatically check in the driver
session after every hardware access. With the 89600, you must explicitly disconnect from the hardware
before the driver session is checked in.
