switch executiveAPI : get channel name (not alias)

Hi!

 

Currently working with Switch Executive, I'd like to retrieve the channel names on my IVI Device... All I can get is the Alias (which I don't want)... Is there a way to get the channel name (IVI name or Full name) ??

 

It seems to be possible to do it through Channel.FormattedName (see NISE Help http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370404G-01/nise/channel_formattedname/), but I can't find FormattedName in my Channel ActiveX property node....

Zyl7,

 

The FormattedName function is an Invoke node function. I would try the following code (LV 2011).
