C# IVI logical names list?

[Roland Gesche]

Hello,

I am using C# with Measurement Studio and Visual Studio. I want to read a list of the IVI logical names defined by MAX, but I can not find any class/method to do this within the Measurement Studio .net classes.

Thank you in advance

Hello Roland,
We do not currently offer .NET API's for IVI drivers in Measurement Studio. However, you should be able to use the IviConfigServer COM component through .NET interop in your application. You can add a reference to the component by selecting "Ivi Configuration Server 1.0 Type Library" from the COM tab of the "Add Reference..." dialog.

Here is an example of how you might use the COM component in .NET. In this code, I populate a comboBox on my user interface with a list of all the Logical names in the system:

using Ivi.ConfigServer.Interop;

private void PopulateComboBox()
{
IviConfigStoreClass configStore = new IviConfigStoreClass();
string masterLocation = configStore.MasterLocation;

configStore.Deserialize(masterLocation);

foreach (IviLogicalName logicalName in configStore.LogicalNames)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(logicalName.Name);
Console.WriteLine(logicalName.Name);
}
}

Thank you very much, it works.
