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.
