About External Devices |
Description |
Set and return the state of activation of the device. When extDev.IOEnable = True, and this command is set to True, the VNA will attempt communication with the external device. An error is returned if communication cannot be verified. Note: Send this command AFTER sending other External Device settings to avoid communicating with the device before it has been fully configured. See Also ExternalDeviceDeActivatePolicy Property - Determines whether External Devices remain activated or are de-activated when the VNA is Preset or when a Instrument State is recalled. |
