Address multiple USRP in Labview (Ettus USB-USRP not USRP RIO)

[Standardnutzer]

To adddress a USRP in Labview with the NI-USRP VIs there you need to put in the short name of the device (e.g. B205i).
When searching for multiple USRP of the same type all of them have the same name but different serial numbers.

But again addressing a specific USRP is only possible with it`s name.

Is there a word around for this issue?

Hi  Standardnutzer,

According to links below, you can call instruments with their names (which can be customized) or IP addresses.

Kind regards

I didn't even know you could use their name, I recall to always have used IP addresses.

It may be impossible while using USB USRP %)

As stated in the title it is an USB USRP.

Thanks for the hint that there is a way to rename the device. I will give it a try - hopefully it works with Windows also.

Good point.

How does MAX name the devices? 

[Standardnutzer]

Unfortunately MAX doesn't show any USRP devices (at least non of the UHD based devices)

I could actually post it to the idea exchange forum...

Shouldn't it be possible to enumerate the devices, then select\sort them based on serial number? Then use the selected enumerated devices to open their recourses?
