What does VISA Find Resource use as source data?

When a Serial Resource (e.g. COM1) is busy with another application, I want to tell the operator this, specifying the COM number in question. It appears the Port Binding (e.g. COM1) is not known until a successful VISA open has exececuted.  Although I could indicate the alias (e.g. ASRL1::INSTR) that is busy, its not very meaningful.  Visaconf.ini has this information. Is it the right place to go for it?

Yes, this file contains the mapping between the VISA names and the System names. It is the section ALIASES you need.
