The process nimxs.exe running in the background is automatically calling VISA::viFindRsrc every time the device I am testing is connected to my computer. The device is connected as a network adapter. This process is finding miscellaneous equipment on the network and taking up to 15 seconds to complete each time. During this time it is frequently locking the resource I'm trying to send commands to with Labview and causing the following error.
VISA: (HEX 0xBFFF000F) Specified type of lock cannot be obtained, or specified operation cannot be performed, because the resource is locked.
This behavior started when I updated NI-VISA from 4.1 to 5.1.1. Is there a way to turn off this automatic search for equipment on the network? The only time I would want to search for equipment is when I open NI-MAX.
