programatically changing VISA alias of an instrument

[9845567540]

Can I change the visa alias of an instrument using CVI??. I want to automate change this so that the user does not have to use Max to configure the instrument.

The NI-VISA configuration is stored in C:/VXIpnp/WinNT/NIvisa/visaconf.ini, as "INI" file style format.  You can use GetPrivateProfileString() and WritePrivateProfileString() API to access it.

However, mind that the visaconf.ini is very specific to NI-VISA.  This approach has no meaning for other vendor's VISA.

Just wanted to point out that LabVIEW has configuration file VIs that read/write .ini files, so you don't need to resort to Windows API calls.
