How do I find a PXI serial number in code

[Rob 16]

I need to be able to write code to query the PXI boards on my system to find out the serial numbers. I am using LabVIEW 7.1. Is this possible?

Try the attached VI.

It will give you the serial number, board type and device number.

Rob,

What type of devices are you using? The above steps work great if your device is classified as a DAQmx device. Please advise.

Logan is correct. That VI will work only if your boards are supported by DAQmx.

So, attached is a Traditional DAQ version. It's not as elegant as the DAQmx version as you'll need to supply the device numbers or Task ID's, but this will give you same information.
