Numeric Value	Data type	Access	Coercion	High Level Functions
1050305	ViString	RO	None	None

Returns a string that contains the logical name you specified when opening the current IVI session. You can pass a logical name to the niRFSG_init function or the niRFSG_InitWithOptions function. The IVI Configuration Utility must contain an entry for the logical name. The logical name entry refers to a driver session section in the IVI Configuration file. The driver session section specifies a physical device and initial user options.

Supported Devices: PXI-5610, PXIe-5611, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5653/5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672/5673/5673E, PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841
