Sir,
I believe that you have posted to the incorrect location. You should probably post this question to the DAQ forums, which you can locate here:

Please post back if you have any questions.

Hello,

You can use the Init_DA_Brds() function to determine if you board is installed. You'll need to look at the NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual for more information on this function. You specify the device number you want to check. It will return a device code for the type of board installed with that device number (if one is even installed.) You can then compare the device code returned with the one that represents the 6023E from the table in the reference manual. It should be 267 for a PCI-6023E.

Commonly, people will call this function in a loop to go through device number 1 through n checking for boards.

I hope this helps.
