Overview

This example works to directly query the serial number of the device.

 

Description

To query the serial number on your own simply place the DAQmx Device Property Node by right-clicking on the Block Diagram to open the Functions Palette, navigate to All Functions»Measurement I/O»DAQmx»Advanced»System Setup and select a DAQmx Device Property Node. Create a constant for an ActiveDev. This will be where you select your device. Expand the property node down one level, and select Identification»Device Serial Number and create an indicator so that you can see the resultant number.

 

Requirements

Software

  • LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
  • NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 or compatible

Hardware

  • NI Multifunction DAQ Device

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1.Select your Device Here.
2.Run the VI.
3.Get the Serial Number of Device.

I just used this on two different PCI 16XE-50 boards in the lab. They both returned the exact same code. Are device serial numbers supposed to be unique?
