update the name of a NI card automatically in DAQ Assistant

[Keno]

Hello,

I'm new here , this is my fisrt question: I'd like to know if Labview can update automatically the name of a connected card in a DAQ Assistan ?

My problem is that, in order to make my program function correctly, I always need to rename in MAX the name of the card NI-USB 9211 "Dev3"...It is doable but kinda boring...Ideally, I'd like to skip this part, just plug the card and make my software work without modyfying name in MAX.

Any help will be much appreaciated.

Cheers

Not sure if you can rename the card but you can programatically find out what cards you have and use the found name in your program. I think (could be wrong) there's a property node for DAQmx devices which you can use to retrive the name.
