VISA resource name

How does this funciton works? It gets any GPIB addres present in the bus, without do anything else? Cause I want to distribute my application, and I´m not sure if each user will be able to select the corresponding address for its instrument.
 
Thanx!

Well, the user would only have to change the resource name if it's different than where you did your development. If it's the same, the best thing is to make the resource name a block diagram constant so the user can't change it and don't make the block diagram available to the user. If the instruments the users have will have different addresses, then you can instruct them in how to select the correct resource name, use VISA aliases and assign the correct aliases in MAX, or find all instruments connected, do an IDN? on each, and based on the results, assign the correct resource name in your program. A few more details on the application you're developing and how it will be used would help provide a more detailed answer.

Yes, I allready know this solution, but I wondered if was not necessary, just using this control (I haven´t edited in my program and it was showing the addresses)
 
Anyway: cheers, may!
