How the IVI New Session.vi works with the ivi.ini?

[测试工程师]

Hi,all
Does anyone know how the IVI New Session.vi works with the configuration file ivi.ini?
And when the ivi application running, how the ivi calss driver refers to the right specific instrument drivers without changeing the program?

Thanks,

Which VI or function are you referring to? There is neither an "IVI New Session.vi", nor a corresponding "Ivi_NewSession" function in C.

The Ivi Class Drivers determine which specific driver to use at run-time, by looking up the resource descriptor (a Logical Name, or Virtual Instrument) and determining the associated Instrument Driver. That configuration information is settable by the user through MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer).
