configure MAX programatically

[Vishal]

Hi all,
I am using LV 6i.
I want to configure max(Devices and Interface portion only at present - GPIB and serial interfaces ) programatically using labview.
e.g. If I install GPIB card in my PC then I should able to give allias names in VISA to the instrument connected through GPIB. All these I am doing from MAX directly. But I want it to be done programatically through LV. (Like Scan for instruments, Set alliase name for that instruments, get/set properties for the interfaces, etc. )
Plz let me know if any one has done this.

Thanks
Vishal

Currently, there is no function call to set an alias. We generally distinguish between configuration and programmatic actions, which is consistent with most customer needs.

If you feel that you have a need for this, please send me more information directly by going to www.ni.com/ask and filling out a request for email support. Address the email to me and include any info regarding your intended use case. Why is it important to you, what you want it for, and what feature(s) would be most important to you. I can't guarantee we will add it, but I'd like to know more about your needs.

Find the file visaconf.ini and modify it, then programatically refresh MAX
