programatically chosing visa channel

[RichC]

I am using Labview 7.1 and am using the serial port connected to custom customer hardware. I wish to detect which visa resource the hardware is connected to rather than the user selecting com1 com2 etc. How can i extract the individual visa names from the list in my labview program. I am happy once i got the visa name to issue a known command to the visa resource and test for the hardware presence

So any sugguestions on programatically extracting visa names would be appreciated

You can use the VISA Find Resource function on the VISA>VISA Advanced palette. This will list all VISA resources or just the resources (i.e. serial) that you want.
