Hi Herman,
>From my point of view, the best way to manage instruments (if you have to manage several and you are not sure about what you will use and its/their address/es), is defining them in Instrument Manager all with address 0 (NOT LIVE). It is valid for serial and HPIB interfaces. After that you can activate a input pin "address" in a Direct I/O with the address number and work with it. The address and the equipment used can be defined at the beginning by means of questions to operator or better by a external configuration ASCII file.
Even you can use one or other equipment type defining different Function Interfaces, each one devoted to one specific equipment with one or several Direct I/O objects. Each equipment interface functions can be included in a different VEE functions library, you can load all at the beginning and use one or other Interface Function depending on the used equipment.
In such a way loading the VEE application never will fail and it is very flexible.

maybe the answer is very easy, but I could not find it up to now ...
I have multiple direct IO commands in my HPVEE programm. To be flexible I
have added the control inputs with instrument name and instrument address to
the IO commands.
But now I do have two variables, that have to match.
I would like to bring this down to one variable. Means, I'm assuming, that
my GPIB address of an istrument is fixed. Now I would like to read somehow
the corresponding
name from the instrument manager which I can use for the direct IO command
as control input.
Therefore even after deleting the instrument, and finding an istrument
called "newInstrument" by a "search instruments" the programm would work
fine, as long the corresponding GPIB address of the instrument does not
change.
Is there any chance to find this kind of information, or is there even a
better way to get instrument type, name and GPIB address ?
thanks
