How can I determine at runtime the type and specs of the DAQ card a computer has installed?

[CSD]

I am creating a voltmeter with a record button for use in systems without LabView installed (stand alone exe's are used). My program allows users to select the scan rate on channels they have selected to view. I want to be able to determine the capabilities of the card (max sampling rate, # of channels avaliable, etc...) within LabView at runtime. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks...

You can use the "Get DAQ Device Info" function available in the Functions>>DAQ>>Calibration and Configuration palette. This function will allow you to query for much of this information.

But apparently not the card's available input ranges and resolution (12 or 16 bits).

Is there a similar type of function for NI-DAQmx? I'm trying to figure out how to programmatically query a card's number of AI channels, AO channels, CTRS's etc, without having to build up my own hard-coded table.
