SetDevInfoShort
changes only the
fields of
SetDevInfo
that are 16-bit integers. Possible fields include
the Commander’s logical address, mainframe number, slot,
manufacturer ID number, model code, device class, VXI address space
allocated, VXI interrupt lines/handlers allocated, protocols supported,
and so on. You should use this function only in very special situations,
because it updates information in the NI-VXI interface and can affect
execution. At the startup of your application,

Commander Word Serial Protocol Functions
Word Serial communication is the minimal mode of communication
between VXI message-based devices within the VXI
Commander/Servant hierarchy. The Commander Word Serial functions
let the local CPU (the CPU on which the NI-VXI interface resides)
perform VXI message-based Commander Word Serial communication
with its Servants. The four basic types of Commander Word Serial
transfers are as follows:
