Dynamically change D:P:S

Hi there!
I currently set up some classes in an university, because all the room are almost the same and are coupled together like one master room with it's slave one, i try to make just one file that autoset all matrix inputs and outputs based on the system number of all the ni3100 we got.
In the same manner, i try to change some virtual device, i tryed this in the define_start session where i set a dev variable to 33001:1:102 on system 101, 33001:1:101 on system 102 and so on.
Of course this compile correctly but is not working because i didn't specify that device in the define_device section.
Is there a way to add/modify a device d:p:s dinamically in code ?
Any help will be appreciated!

Personally, I find it easier to make the project-specific things like device assignments an INCLUDE, and just change that and recompile.
This makes using the DEFINE_COMBINE method that Dave talked about a much faster change and much less likely to negatively affect a users ability to use the system during a switch.
It's kind of cool but I can't think of anything I'd use it for but maybe it could work for what you're trying to do.

Criss,
Here's some example code that I developed to be able to switch between different projector modules and port connection types without having to resend a compiled program to the master. (I used several variables I read from a config file placed on the master to change connection ports and projector brand/type) I think you should be able to adapt this technique to suit your needs. The important thing you were probably missing with your dev variable is that you need to call REBUILD_EVENT() after changing a dev variable that is used for a module or something set at compile time.
Thanks,
Jeff Beam

QUESTION: Is there a way to add/modify a device d:p:s dinamically in code ?
ANSWER: Yes. You can create a variable DEV, set the D:P:S of the variable device at runtime, and then use the REBUILD_EVENT() function to rebuild the event table.
Step #1: Declare your variable device.
Step #2: In DEFINE_START check what the system number is of the master running the code to determine what virtual D:P:S to assignto the variable device. Assign the variable device a D:P:S and immediately rebuild the Event Table.
DEFINE_START SWITCH( GET_SYSTEM_NUMBER() ) // what is the system id of this master { // if this is system 101 set the virtual device to system 102 CASE 101: vdvVariableDevice = 33001:1:102 // if this is system 102 set the virtual device to system 101 CASE 102: vdvVariableDevice = 33002:1:101 } // rebuild the event table. REBUILD_EVENT()Please let me know if this was what you were after?
You can pass d.p.s info across masters in command strings and create event tables for devices on other systems without declaring them locally. Reading the device info from a database then populating the device arrays dynamically during runtime works too.
