Fieldpoint firmware revision - programmatically

[David Moerman]

Does anyone know how to obtain the firmware revision # from Fieldpoint network modules (specifically: cFP-2020). I know how to do this through FP explorer or MAX (LV7), but I need to do this programmatically.

Thanks,

Greetings David,

You can use datasocket to programmatically gain the version number of the network module. The URL that you will use is:

lookout:\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\FP\Control\Version

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your module. You can find this URL also by creating a front panel datasocket connection and browsing to your network module.

Hope this helps. Have a good day.
