Controller.Connect

Attempts to connect to a physical controller or load a memory dump file created by a physical controller.

Overload 1 will perform initialization after a connection is established. If the SynqNet network is not in Synq mode, the Connect will attempt to perform SynqNet network initialization.

Overload 2 allows an application to specify whether or not initialization will take place after a connection is established with a controller. If the initialize argument is True, Connect will perform the same initialization that takes place in Overload 1. If the initialize argument is False, no initialization is made. This is useful for applications that only want to observe the current state of a controller and not affect how another application works.
