How to programmatically query information from the C-Series modules off a cRIO

[david.bolt]

Overview

This example demonstrates how to query programmatically the C-Series modules in a cRIO and get the available inputs/outputs.

Description

It is sometimes necessary to query information from the C-Series modules used in a cRIO/sbRIO. This information can be used for documentation purpose or to write custom tools.

This example shows how you can gain this information through the use of property nodes from the LabVIEW-Project.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
• LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• cRIO/sbRIO Real-Time target

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and open the attached ZIP-file
2. Open the LabVIEW-Project and follow the instructions in the VI
