An IVI logical name or an instrument specific string that identifies the address of the instrument, such as a VISA resource descriptor string.

IdQuery

Specifies whether to verify the ID of the instrument.

Reset

OptionString

The user can use the OptionsString parameter to specify the initial values of certain IVI inherent attributes for the session. The format of an assignment in the OptionsString parameteris "Name=Value", where Name is one of: RangeCheck, QuerytInstrStatus, Cache, Simulate, RecordCoercions, InterchangeCheck,or DriverSetup. Value is either true or false except for DriverSetup. If the Options String parameter contains an assignment for the Driver Setup attribute, the Initialize function assumes that everything following "DriverSetup=" is part of the assignment.
