How to find all real time targets?

[tom_z]

Hi,

     Is there a function VI to list all real time targets connected to the network like what are shown in remote system under MAX? Thanks!

Try this: Measurement I/O -> System configuration -> Find

Hi,

Here's a quick draft for you. The attached VI searches for known devices and lists their hostname+IP+status in a table.

Hope this gets you forward!

Hi,

     There is no System Configuration under Measurement I/O palette and when I tried to open find.vi there is no \nisyscfg\initialize (string).vi. I have LabVIEW Profession Development Version. Do I need a toolbox for the function?

     THanks for help!

     Regards,

tom_z,

This snippet works in LV2009SP1.

Yes, I guess those VI's are installed with NI System Configuration API.

The VI Wayne used should work straight away. There's some difference between the behaviour though. With system configuration VI's you will get information of all devices known to MAX. Even the ones that are disconnected from your system at the moment. RT Get target information.vi will give information for connected devices only. I guess Wayne's option is the better one to solve your problem 🙂
