Using aliases in LabVIEW

[m-s]

Using visaconf, I have set aliases for each of my devices. How can I use the aliases in VISA finder in a block diagram ? I want to avoid using strings like GPIB0::12::INSTR etc. if possible (plus avoid mistakes).

If by VISA finder, you mean the VISA Find Resource function, you can specify the search mode to return the aliases instead of the canonical name. Try a value of 4. A front panel VISA Resource Name control should automatically display an alieas if it exists.
