ProgID field in MAX Instrument Driver Software Module General tab

[pblase]

What does the ProgID field in the IVI Driver/Instrument Driver Software Module do exactly? I have written several drivers, and all I know is that if I set the ProgID the class driver can no longer find the appropriate file for the instrument driver. I can't find any instructions on when and if this should be set, other than the help for the Ivi_ClassDriverNew routine.

ProgID returns a string that specifies the version-independent COM ProgID of the software module. This property may be an empty string. This field in MAX is used only by IVI-COM drivers not IVI-C.

Ok. So: don't use it if it's not a COM driver.

Thanks much.
