How to change Name of block and/or Device and/or ID and the Fieldbus Address

Hi

I'm programming Fieldbus Communication under Borland C++ and use the NiFb.lib

The communication within all block goes but...

I want to change the name of each block but i don't know which function i must used. There is no SetTag function available like in NI-Configurator

I want to change the name of each Device and/or ID (or PDTag) but i don't know which function i must used. There is no SetTag function available like in NI-Configurator

I want to change the address of each Device but i don't know which function i must used. There is no SetAddress function available like in NI-Configurator

Can anyone help me ???

Thanks

Nicolas

Unfortunately the functions of Set Tag and Set Address are not part of standard NI-FBUS CM API library; in fact, these functions and other advanced configuration functions are included in the "Configurator" API library, which is not free of charge.

If you want to know more about these functions and the "Configruator" API library, I suggest you contact "fieldbus.support@ni.com" directly.

Hope it helps.

BTW: If you use LabVIEW, the NI FF-LV library supports Set Tag and Set Address.
