A "VISA Resource Name" control

[vix]

In LabVIEW there is a"VISA Resource Name" control which lists all the VISA resources, is automatically updated when devices are plugged or un-plugged, and has a Browse functionality.

With CVI you can use NIDAQmx_NewDeviceCtrl( ) on a string control, but this lists only the DAQmx resources.

Is there another function I can use to have all the VISA resources listed?

there is the function viFindRsrc which you can use to programmatically find all available resources, see here

I didn't write in my post, but I've already looked at this function.

The problem is that I have to write code to update the VISA resource list, periodically calling this function.

I prefer an automatic function.

Hi Vix,

it seems to be the only solution. Here you can find also an example.

Hope it helps!
