How can I dynamically access FP2200 serial number from my deployed RT application

[kgolden]

I'm looking for a way to access the serial number of a FP target from the application which is deployed on it. I hope to use this number as part of my database so the database can identify the FP in a unique way that is guaranteed not to change. An RT application needs to know the serial number so it can be used in queries.

I also want to find a way to dynamically read the name assigned to the module.

I did not see a way to access the serial number or the name in labview but I know it must be stored somewhere since it can be seen in M&A explorer.

Hi kgolden.  Try the Get Target Info (IP).vi.  In my (8.5.1) system it is under 7.x Functions, User Libraries, RT System Replication, so my

guess is that it came from the System Replication libraries, which have lots of other neat stuff.

Thanks Mark! That led to the correct answer. I have a follow up question about doing the same thing for FP1601but I'll start a new thread for that. Kudos to you!

Glad to help, sorry I can't help with the -1601 question.
