Server Attributes


Ethernet Server supports the following attributes:

Keep Alive

The KMXF_SERVER_KEEP_ALIVE attribute holds the keep alive mechanism state. When enabled, connection timeout is fired if no activity has been detected for 60 seconds. Network timeout condition can happen when debugging an Ethernet application and staying on a breakpoint for longer than the timeout value. In that case, disabling the keep alive mechanism will avoid this condition.

Constant Description
VMXF_ENABLE Keep alive is enabled (default)
VMXF_DISABLE Keep alive is disabled


Allow Reconnection

When enabled, the KMXF_SERVER_ALLOW_RECONNECTION_EXCLUSIVE_CLIENT attribute allows an exclusive client to reconnect. This can be useful in development when the application is run in a container and terminates improperly without calling mxfServerDisconnect(), but the process is still alive (VIs in LabVIEW are such a case). This attribute is global to the server, so any client can change it.

Constant Description
VMXF_ENABLE Reconnection is allowed
VMXF_DISABLE Reconnection is not allowed (default)


Device Attributes

MXF_DEVICE_FLEXMAX_3U FlexMAX 3U
MXF_DEVICE_FLEXMAX_1U FlexMAX 1U
MXF_DEVICE_RELAYBOX RelayBox


Sync-Out Termination

The KMXF_DEVICE_SYNC_OUT_TERMINATION attribute holds the sync-out termination state. 120 ohm termination resistor can be added by changing this attribute.
Only available on FlexMobile, FlexMAX and RelayBox devices.

Constant Description
VMXF_DEVICE_SYNC_OUT_TERMINATION_NONE No termination resistor (default)
VMXF_DEVICE_SYNC_OUT_TERMINATION_120OHM 120 ohm termination resistor is added


Sync-In Termination

The KMXF_DEVICE_SYNC_IN_TERMINATION attribute holds the sync-in termination state. 100 or 120 ohm termination resistor can be added by changing this attribute.
Only available on FlexMobile, FlexMAX and RelayBox devices.

Constant Description
VMXF_DEVICE_SYNC_IN_TERMINATION_NONE No termination resistor (default)
VMXF_DEVICE_SYNC_IN_TERMINATION_120OHM 120 ohm termination resistor is added

uint32 mxfSystemResourcesInit ( HMXF_SERVER  server,
uint64  options 
)
C#
public static extern UInt32 mxfSystemResourcesInit(UInt64 server, UInt64 options);

Initializes the library and allocates the base system resources. During the initialization, after the devices are detected, the firmware file is automatically loaded. When a device is configured to run in Ethernet mode, the firmware, library, server and configuration files are automatically loaded from the on-board flash, otherwise only the firmware is uploaded from the client system.

Note
If the function is performed with option MXF_SYSTEM_OPTION_RESET_DEVICES by an embedded application, the reset does not completely reset the device as this would cause it to terminate the embedded application.

Timebase is set to MXF_TIMEBASE_DEVICE_NSEC by this function.

For remote application, this function is not available to client with user privileges.

If the function returns MAXT_ERROR_MANY_MASTER, the application can continue its execution, this error is a non-fatal error.

Note
Starting with MXF 4.6.1, only the first call to mxfSystemInit() or mxfSystemResourcesInit() on the system will initialize the library, the other calls will simply return MAXT_SUCCESS. It is recommended to call this function only once at the beginning of the application. A matching number of calls to mxfSystemTerminate() or mxfSystemResourcesRelease() must be done before the end of the application.
Parameters
[in]serverserver handle
[in]optionsthe following options are available
  • MXF_SYSTEM_OPTION_RESET_DEVICES: Reset the devices. Perform the same as mxfSystemInit() function.
Returns
MAXT_SUCCESS is returned when the function has succeeded.
Refer to mxf_error.h for a list of defined errors.
Call mxfSystemErrorStringGet() to transform the return code into a text string.
Availability:
Available in MX Foundation 4.0 and later.

uint32 mxfSystemResourcesRelease ( HMXF_SERVER  server,
uint64  options 
)
C#
public static extern UInt32 mxfSystemResourcesRelease(UInt64 server, UInt64 options);

Releases the system resources allocated by the library.

Note
If the function is performed with option MXF_SYSTEM_OPTION_RESET_DEVICES by an embedded application, the reset does not completely reset the device as this would cause it to terminate the embedded application.
It is important to disable all asynchronous event conditions and that the asynchronous event handler has finished and is terminated with mxfAsyncEventHandlerTerminate() before calling this function.

For remote application, this function is not available to client with user privileges.

Note
Starting with MXF 4.6.1, only the last matching call to mxfSystemInit() or mxfSystemResourcesInit() will execute, the others will simply return MAXT_SUCCESS. It is recommended to call this function only once at the end of the application. If the function returns MAXT_ERROR_ANOTHER_PROCESS_RUNNING, the system resources allocated by the library are released, only the reset is not performed.
Parameters
[in]serverserver handle
[in]optionsthe following options are available
  • MXF_SYSTEM_OPTION_RESET_DEVICES: Reset the devices. Perform the same as mxfSystemTerminate() function.
Returns
MAXT_SUCCESS is returned when the function has succeeded.
Refer to mxf_error.h for a list of defined errors.
Call mxfSystemErrorStringGet() to transform the return code into a text string.

uint32 mxfFlexMultiReset ( HMXF_SERVER  server)
C#
public static extern UInt32 mxfFlexMultiReset(UInt64 server);

Performs a hard reset of all FlexMulti devices associated to this server. This function is similar to pressing the reset button of the FlexMulti device.

This function is available for Ethernet or USB connected FlexMulti. The Ethernet or USB connection will be lost, the application will need to reconnect to the device.

Parameters
[in]serverserver handle
Returns
MAXT_SUCCESS is returned when the function has succeeded.
Refer to mxf_error.h for a list of defined errors.
Call mxfSystemErrorStringGet() to transform the return code into a text string.
