Get HW-Identifier for PCI-CAN/2 card?

[airplane]

I am using a CAN HW PCI-CAN/2.
Because of distributing our software to others, I want to detect the type of HW exactly.
Therefore I need to detect a hw id, for example the string "PCI-CAN/2".
The vi ncGetHArdwareInfo.vi returns only the Serialnumber, which is not enough for me,
because if we buy several cards, the SW must know all serial numbers.

So in the end, is there any function (dll) where I can read out an HW-identifier for this sort of CAN HW?

Hi airplane,

There is no direct way to get the full hardware name. However you can use multiple calls to the ncGetHardwareInfo.vi to programmatically generate that name:

ncGetHardwareInfo(Number of Cards)
FOR Number of Cards
(
ncGetHardwareInfo(Form Factor)
ncGetHardwareInfo(Number of Ports)
ncGetHardwareInfo(Transceiver Type)
ncGetHardwareInfo(Series)
)

What is unknown right now is, whether a Series 2 card is a software selectable type (XS), but you can try to set the transceiver type using ncSetAttr.vi for the first port. If you get an error, the card is not a software selectable type (XS).

Hope this helps,
