e supposed to come from the fieldpoint explorer, but I don�t know were to look. I am working on the FP_CreateTagIOPoint function now.Also, is it ok to user the same variable for the server handle in each function window? Any Help is Appreciated ThankyouWhen using the FieldPoint CVI calls such as FP_CreateTagIOpoint and FP_Open, the server handle returned by FP_Open should be used as the server handle for every call to FP_CreateTagIOPoint.

The values used for commname, devicename and itemname in FP_CreateTagIOPoint must be the exact names found inthe FieldPoint IAK file that you are using. Assuming that you are using the default names and have not renamed anything, an example would be:
commname: "FP Res"
devicename: "FP-TC-120 @1" (note the space between the 0 and the @ symbol).
itemname: "Channel 0"
