I am trying find the resource name of NI 9472, NI cDAQ-9171 connected by USB, to be able to control it using VISA. It shows up in NI-MAX in "devices and interfaces" and I can control it using the "Test panels" option. However, when I go to VISA Interactive control I cannot find it there.
Thanks.

Hi!
May I ask, why do you want to use VISA with this devices?
They have their own driver to make them compatible with Labview and Labwindows CVI.
It is called DAQmx, its an API used to control DAQ devices from National Intruments. And, its free 🙂

In any case the resource name should be the one that you see under NI MAX.
For example. "Dev 1" or "cDAQ1"

I still have trouble connecting to the device using VISA. I am trying to open it using the string name I see on NI MAX (tried both "cDAQ1" and "cDAQ1Mod1") but I get a "0xBFFF0011 (VI_ERROR_RSRC_NFOUND), Insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system."
Thanks
