Resource name does not match COM port number

[zizai]

Hi,

When I connect board to computer, I use

ResourceManager.GetLocalManager().FindResources("?*")

to get resource name("ASRL11::INSTR") and use this name I invoke

Session session = ResourceManager.GetLocalManager().Open(name);

to get session and get session's HardwareInterfaceName property value.

The problem is that the COM port number in the HardwareInterfaceName property("Com10") does not match the resource name. The COM port number is correct, it is the same as it is shown in Windows Device Manager. But why is the resource name "ASRL11::INSTR", it should be "ASRL10::INSTR".

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks,

Eva

Hi,

Port 10 is reserved for the parallel port

So the resource name is not neccessary to match com port name.

Thank you very much!
