How can I open VISA serial port, automated ?

[dsasorin]

Hi.

I have Labview 8.5.

I have programm wich works fine, on serial interface, on a known port (COM7). I have a USB to serial converter on my laptop.

Is there a way to make my programm (.vi) to discover the port where my converter is connected ? I mean automated opened.

Thanks.
