Hello Lars,
Well I have had some success. Essentially I cribbed part of the code from the example and came up with the following:
1. I embed some code in the Configure() code that Max has created. I am able to get all of the information regarding all the devices currently connected.
2. I can check to see if there is only 1 9234 connected and then use the string id to manipulate the code for the task configuration that was hardcode to something like "Dev1/..."
3. I can also check to see if there are no 9234's connected and then put a message out to the user thru a message box.
4. I can check to see if there are multiple 9234's connected and output this message to a user. but have no way of getting them to select one over an other.
I guess that what I need to do now is figure out a way to get a dialog to pop up from the max Configure() code.
Alternatively I can look at probing the system before I create the task and then overload a constructor for the task with the user's select instrument and serial number.
I am a little concerned that I really should have done this without using max at all...
Why doesn't the max created code template foresee the possiblity that the computer could have more then one device of the same type (with different names) or different devices with the same name. It seems to me that the device name created by Max is next to useless. Really what we want to be able to do is define a device type (say 9234) for our application, and have the max code connect to the only one if only one is used or prompt the user to select one from a list based upon serial number if more then one is connected in a computer.
Thanks for your help, I hope that this isn't too confusing.
