Serial Port Configuration Button

[ChantalPlusPlus]

Hi All

 

This might be a silly question but I am very new to DaqFactory.

 

I'm working from different PC's on the same project, and I'm looking for an easier way to change the COM port no.

 

I'm trying to make a button, that when it's clicked, opens the "Serial Port Configuration" window 

(Quick > Device Configuration > Ethernet/Serial > Configure(button) > Serial Port Configuration)

 

I don't know if it is possible but if it is, will someone please explain to me how to do this?

 

Thanks!

You can use the configureComm() function:

 

Create a button, then in the Action tab, select "Quick Sequence".  Then in the script area type something like:

 

device.myDevice.configureComm()

 

where myDevice is the name of the comm device you created.  This will open the serial or ethernet configuration window.

 

Note that changes are not saved unless you actually save your document.  You can do this from script using:

 

system.saveDocument()

 

But I recommend keeping backups of your document before deployment.  I recommend backups in all cases, actually...
