Fixed ports?

[Sarah83]

Hi!

I have an array with many elements.

There the user should choose the ports.

Is it possible, to say, that the ports are fixed?

I thought of if tx is e.g. com1 rx should be com1, too. If tx is e.g com 5 than rx must be com5, too.... and so on.

It should be impossible to choose double ports. One port should be chosen only once.

And is it possible to send bigger values like a .txt between e.g. com1 and com1 (sent from pc1 to pc2 and back to pc1)?

Because I think it must be very circuitous to compare this .txt's after sending.

And question two, why my ports are named as asrl?! In win system configuration the ports are named right.

Edit:

MAX is like this

Hi,

2. ASRL is the standard VISA resource name.

This is the real name. COM is only an alias to make it easier.

What you see in the control depends what kind of filter you use for the control.

Or what alias names you have configured.

For the 1. question I have no good answer.

Maybe you can disable the element.

You can use an ring control and disable only selected values.

This is be done with the property disabledItems[].

Prost :beer:

In MAX the alias names ars only COM.

Why the names are mixed?! General either ASRL or COM :headbang:

I have seen the "ASRL" name on com-ports usually when I installed a computer (or at least additional com-ports) and haven't yet run MAX at least once. After running MAX the com-ports shows as COMx.

Hmmm, I had run MAX many times.

Now all ASRL but one(ASRL14::INSTR) are changed to COM

I'm confused.... LV... :headbang:
