GGODConnection.vi

...

Open the IP connections with the four VME SIS3153 controllers and return the connection handles.
The VME access is A32, D32 and "block transfer" is enabled.
The VME mapped size is 4 MByte (that is the whole Apple DEVIL memory).
The vme_base_address is set to E0000000 (which is the DEVIL extended base address).

Legacy data-dependency output.
The connector pane pattern for all initHWXXX VIs is fixed and mandatory and – for (wrong) historical reasons – it has no indicator returning the error.
The error is returned in ddOut as a boolean obtained from the status element of the output error cluster of the vme_open SubVI.

ddOut = True indicates that an error occourred in the vme_open

Warning

The connector pane pattern for all initHWXXX VIs is fixed and mandatory and – for (wrong) historical reasons – does not return any errors.
