  • Std::DeviceRegistersStreamingEnd
  • Std::DeviceRegistersCheck
  • Std::DeviceRegistersValid

If only a subset of the listed features are available only these are used.

Parameters
[in]NodeMapCVB NodeMap to write settings to.
[in]FilenameFilename of settings file to load.

This function works like the NMLoadSet function except that software validation after writing to the device is performed if Validate is true. The settings in the Filename are compared against the settings in the device.

The callback function, if given, is only called for recoverable errors. If a critical error occurs the function returns always without an additional call. If the operation is canceled the error code is returned by the function.

Attention
Some values may be adjusted by the device. This can happen if values are changed manually in the settings file. Floating point numbers are compared as strings: E.g. the value 1.5 is represented as 1.50, thus enter 1.50 in the settings file to ensure the value is validated correctly.
Parameters
[in]NodeMapCVB NodeMap to write settings to.
[in]FilenameFilename of settings file to load.
[in]Validatetrue if software validation is to be done; false otherwise.
[in]CallbackFunction pointer to function to be called on errors; NULL if not needed.
[in]pPrivatePointer to user data given in Callback.
Returns
CVC error code: Smaller than zero on error.
