Automate changing of GPIB Interface IDs

$

I've had an issue with GPIB interface IDs being assigned to the wrong PCI bus/dev intermittently (using multiple PCI-GPIB cards).   After research and experimentation, I've decided the only way to resolve the issue is to manually assign the interface IDs based on the PCI slot.

 

I realize this is easily done with the Measurement and Automation Explorer by selecting the GPIB device and changing the property settings.  I'd like to automate this so our operators don't have to deal with it.  

 

C# or C/C++ is fine - which API is appropriate to use?  I've been reading documentation for 488.2 programming, NI-VISA, SystemConfiguration... I haven't been able to find a way to accomplish this. 

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.
