How to read cRIO hostname or serial number locally

[James@Home]

I haven't done much work with cRIO and decided to ask for help.  ;o)

I know about the VIs that allow access to this information from a connected Windows machine, however, I want retrieve and display this information on remote panels.  But, I'm having trouble determining how to read the cRIO hostname or serial number in software running on the cRIO?

Thanks for assistance.

Check out the System Configuration API.  There's an example called "Show All Hardware" in the Example Finder that gives an idea of how you could do this.  Just make sure the target is set to "localhost" if it's going to be running on the cRIO.
