My question is basically to find dynamically COM port(Which is actually VIRTUAL com port). In all the PCs there are 6 USB ports,4 in Back & 2 in front. If user will inserts the USB then VIRTUALLY one COM port will be created which is COM5(say). Later if user remove & connect to the other USB port then again will create one VIRTUAL port COM6(say). Then also if through visa property node "VISA interface information --> Interface description" it will display both COM 5 & 6 as property of VIRTUAL com port.So how programmer will find that in which usb port is now in use....

Hi Ranjeet,

One way to do this would be to query for the device.  This example shows how to do this for a serail device that is connected to the COM Port.  I hope this helps.

If possible can you please send me this code. In the image its not at all visible properly. 

Actually i found the way but it takes 3 second to find the correct COM port. I hope your looks better.

Thanks a lot

And as already explained, you use the VISA Find Resources function. After that, it is all code that would be custom to the instrument you have connected.
