Specify a descriptive name for the instrument object
Description
You configure Name
to be a descriptive name for an instrument object.
When you create an instrument object, a descriptive name is automatically generated and stored in Name
. However, you can change this value at any time. As shown below, the components of Name
reflect the instrument object type and the input arguments you supply to the creation function.
If the secondary address is not specified when a GPIB or VISA-GPIB object is created, then Name
will not include this component.
If you change the value of any property that is a component of Name
(for example, Port
or PrimaryAddress
), then Name
is automatically updated to reflect those changes.
