The memory can be allocated on either the device itself or on the computer's system memory. If the device to which the given VISA Session refers is located on the local interface card, the memory can be allocated either on the device itself or on the computer's system memory. The memory region referenced by offset that is returned from this function can be accessed with the high-level functions VISA Move In 8, VISA Move In 16, VISA Move In 32, VISA Move In 64, VISA Move Out 8, VISA Move Out 16, VISA Move Out 32, and VISA Move Out 64 or it can be mapped using the VISA Map Address function.
 | Note The offset of this function could be above the 4 GB boundary. If your device cannot access this memory, use the VISA Memory Allocation function instead. |
