hpe5250a_closeList

This function will connect the input ports to the output ports specified by the channel list.

The parameter ’closechan_list’ is an array of integers with each integer representing one channel. The last number of the ’closechan_list’ should be "0" (numeric zero) to identify the end of the list. The maximum number of channels that can be specified by the list is 100.

Syntax	ViStatus _VI_FUNC hpe5250a_closeList(ViSession vi,
	ViInt32_VI_FAR closechan_list[ ] );
Parameters	vi	Instrument handle returned from hpe5250a_init( ).

closechan_list[ ] Channel numbers to connect. 5 digits integer. ABCDE. where

A:card number, BC: input port number, DE: output port number. Top zero(s) can be ignored. For example, if A=0, BC=01, and DE=01, channel number should be 101 instead of 00101.
