configure model name in visa

[SeanJ]

Hi All,

This probably really simple but I'm getting stuck.

I want to write the model name programmatically, (not using MAX), onto a VISA resource but I can't change the property model name to write.  Does anyone know how I can do this, see attached?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

I don't think this is possible, why do you need to change the model name? There might be another way of performing the functionality you're after. 

Kind Regards,

My guess is that he probably wants to present a user-friendly menu with instrument model names, rather than just the default VISA Resource Name. In this case, I'd suggest using aliases.

Hi Joel/smercurio,

I just wanted to insert a type in a legacy driver so that I could switch easily between devices.  It looks like you are right, it can't be done programmatically.

I gave up and used a type def.  Thanks for your help.
