HI

Take property node of "Daqmx System" propery node in that select Device Names, you will get the array of devices connceted to the systems. Take the appropriate index of your scxi device and connect to activedev terminal "Daqmx Device property node" (this is different property node). Then expant the property node and take property of Location -PXI-Slot number.

This method is more generalised method in simplest way what you can do is

Take " DAQmx Device Names" and choose your device and connect to activedev terminal of "Daqmx Device property node". Then expant the property node and take property of Location -PXI-Slot number.

Hope this helps

hi santhosh,

yes the way u have mentioned is useful for getting only pxi modules information.we dont have any property node for reading scxi slot no if we try to give scxi module names to the pxi slot no property node it throws an error   200197...saying that particular property node doesnt support for scxi modules,if i still continue the execution with the error ill be getting the slot no of the ccommunication device used in the chassis.is there any other way to read it ...?

HI

There is one vi called Get SCXI Information, I have tried with simulated devices but its not working.

You can check with the actual hardware and let me know if this works
