GetRTSystemInfo on PXI system

[ChristianEC]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to get the mac address of a PXI system by using C-Code e.g. in CVI.

There is the function GetRTSystemInfo but according to the manual, this function is only supported on Windows.

Does anybody know if there is a similar function for RT systems?

I know that there is a VI "Get Target Information" that comes with LabVIEW RT. This VI is able to get the mac address when running on a RT system, which means it is possible.

I am just looking for a simple function that I can call from C-Code to get the mac address.

Thank you,

Christian

Hi,

you can use the System Configuration API. I only used it in LabVIEW but this should also work for CVI to get the MAC adress of your RT target

Cheggers is right, you should use the NI System Configuration API. I think it is actually installed automatically with CVI, but I may be wrong. It will show up in the libraries as NI System Configuration. The function you will want to use is NISysCfgGetResourceProperty. I was just using this on RT the other day, so it should work.

Thank you both.

I have downloaded it today and will try to get it running now.
