Is there a good way to have a setup menu for comport and other instruments? I am trying to avoid having them on the front panel of the main application. It could be a pull down or popup. I have 5 or 6 devices that are on comports or have visa resources assigned to them through Max. I would need to select comport or visa resource, baud rate..... for the devices. I now have a cluster on the front panel with this.

Sure. You could have a button on the front panel, or a menu item that would call a subVI that pops up like a dialog to enter the information.

I store all of my instrument settings in a configuration file and read it on startup. If something changes, you just update that configuration file before starting the application.
