Can I Programmatically Change the Active Group on a Hypertrend in DSC?

[mz]

I would like to know how to programmatically change the active group of a hypertrend in Labview DSC.  I saw a link which said it can be done in Lookout.  But in the DSC module, the active group is read only.

I know of a hard way to do it.  I could save the hypertrend settings as xmlSettings to a temporary file.  The active group is one of the settings.  I could then change the active group in this text file to point to the new group and then reload the settings.  But this is not a clean way of dong it.

Anyone know if there is a easy way?

I found a way to do it but its not very clean.  I dont know why there is not a function to change the current group.

Here is how I did it.
