device name in MAX changes from dev1 to dev3

[K.Waris]

Hello

I have an executable running on PPC2215 acquiring data off USB6525 recognized in MAX as DEV1. On restart the following day, I found device not acquiring data. I looked in MAX and found device name changed from dev1 to dev3, I changed it to dev1 and reran the executable and it worked a treat!

Is it normal? Do I have to regularly do it? Is there a programmatic way to achieve it without going into MAX?

Kind Regards

Austin

Hi AustinCann,

If the executable still worked fine, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Have you or someone else been using different devices on the computer?

Programmatically, if you have your Input/Output set to a control, you can select your device from the drop down there e.g. select dev3 if it has changed again.

Hope this helps!

I think one of my colleague swapped the USB ports while connecting usb mouse with the computer. Executable works a treat. In the past when I found device was recognized as dev3 in MAX, fortunately I had remembered that it was named dev1 when executable was created. So I simply renamed it from dev3 to dev1 in MAX and everything worked fine.

Kind Regards
