Opening and Closing Sessions...

[Gary Lindgren]

What is the suggested practice for opening and closing communication
sessions in an application. Do use viOpenDefaultRM at the beginning and use
this as a global object or do we use good object oriented design practice
and use viOpenDefaultRM and then use viOpen to open communication in a local
set of varibles in the function or sub and then close both objects before
exiting.
Please comment,
Gary

You may do whichever you prefer.
Each instrument class I create does it's own OpenDefaultRM and keeps the return value internally.
I know many people who do not use object oriented languages and simply keep the DefaultRM value in a global variable.

As far as the recommended practice, I don't know of any official recommendation regarding this detail.
