programatically obtain system memory, cpu type/speed, OS information

[John_Speckhard]

I want to obtain system information about the PC my LabVIEW program is running on - specifically, memory, processor type and speed and OS version.  There must be a Windows call I can make, no?  I know I can get processor info from the registry, but I don't see the other info in there.  Anyone done this?

Hi,

You need a PropertyNode VI to get this information. Drag on your diagram ‘Property Node’ (in ‘Application Control’ subpalette) then right click to choose the properties you need.

Try attached VI. Let me know if you shouldn't use LV8.5 and I will convert it to a previous version.

Hi John,

Those types of question come up prior to a follow-up along the lines of "LV is slow". So I am curious what you plan to do with that info?

Just trying to help,

Actually, I have no problem with the speed of LabVIEW.  I simply need to produce a VDD (Version Description Document) with every release and need to include info on the system it runs on in the VDD.  Just trying to automate the VDD generation process.

Thanks so much!
