Hi everyone,Is there a way to find the resource name assigned by MAX using LabVIEW? I need to use niDCpower Initialise wite Channels VI to initialise a session with PXIe-4143. This VI asks for the resource name assigned by Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) of the form 'PXI1Slot3' as an input. I am not sure whether we can use VISA Find Resource to detect the PXI instrument. If yes, the VISA find resource output string is of a different format. How can I get the resource name assigned by MAX from this? Any Ideas?

You can filter the reference based on your device type and find the resource name for the reference of your expected device type

You can use a DAQmx Device Name constant or control.Or you can do it programmably:

PalanivelT, I find that this resource name is of the format PXI0::4::INSTR. But the one that MAX assigns is of the form PXI1Slot3(1-Chasis Number,3-Slot number). Do you have any idea how to get that programatically?

Thanks for the help in advance.
