Cannot find VISA resource in Labview

[Bruno Borba]

I have created a VISA Ethernet device in MAX 2.2. I can communicate and it works perfectly using the VISA functions inside MAX 2.2. However, when I create my application in Labwiew, I don't find this device and I can't use VISA functions. Does anyone have a clue?

Is this a SOCKET resource or an INSTR (VXI-11) resource? If SOCKET, then you'll need to assign it an alias for it to show up in the LabVIEW drop-down list.

We do recognize this as an inconvenience, by the way - logically it should show up in the LabVIEW I/O control if you've set the I/O class to "TCP/IP Socket", even if it doesn't have an alias - but it doesn't work that way yet. So we'll try to address that in a future version of LabVIEW.

But for now, just assigning it an alias will make it show up in that list.
