Programmatically Delete All Virtual Devices in NI Switch Executive

[Frank-L]

Overview 

This VI will delete all NI Switch Executive (NISE) Virtual Devices from the MAX database and can be used as a SubVI or LabVIEW step in a TestStand sequence.

Description
Utilizing the niseCFG Get Virtual Devices.vi and niseCFG Remove Virtual Devices.vi all existing virtual NI Switch Executive devices are programmatically removed. After finding all of the virtual devices, a property node is used pass the name of the devices to the niseCFG Remove Virtual Devices.vi so it can identify which devices to remove. Finally, the NI Switch Executive configuration is saved by wiring a true constant to the Save Configuration input of the niseCFG Close Configuration.vi.

1. Open NISE Configuration.
2. Grab the list of virtual device objects.
3. Verifies that there are virtual devices in the NISE configuration.
4. Grab the virtual device name from the virtual device object.
5. Close out the virtual device reference.
6. Delete the virtual device.
7. Close and save the NISE configuration.
