Hi,
I am trying to find a way to scan all RIO resources in a PXI chassis programmatically.
In my PXI-1085 chassis, there can be FlexRIOs (7975R), but also VSTs (5644R and 5646R).
Using NI-VISA communication, I have been able to communicate with all those modules,but only if an Alias is set in NI-MAX.
I have'nt bee able to get the RIO resource name associated to the modules found using "VISA Find Resource" VI.
I also have 2 questions:
- Is there any way to communicate with my modules without setting an Alias in NI-MAX?
- How can I get the RIO resource name programmatically?
(I could set as VISA alias in NI-MAX the same name than RIO resource name but this is very restrictive when deploying the application to other configurations)
Thank you,

I'm kinda guessing here - but is it possible using the System Configuration VIs? This is the library/toolkit that allows you get various information about a system (e.g. for cRIOs - the installed software) - there's a 'Find Hardware' VI in there - I would suspect that you can point that at your PXI and it will give you some information?

It works, I can access to RIO resource name without any VISA alias.
Thank you
