What hardware is required for DAQmxCreateAIPosLVDTChan() ?

[querty999]

How can I find out what hardware works with this function call?

This function call shows up in the function library list in the CVI IDE. Does that mean that the connected hardware supports this function?  Or does the IDE function library include every function available in DAQmx regardless of what hardware is connected?

More generally, how to I find out what hardware is compatible with any given function call?

All the DAQmx function calls will show up in the library list, regardless of the hardware that you have.  Unfortunately, there is no documentation that directly says what hardware is compatible with any given function call.  However, you can search the examples in the Example Finder based on the hardware you have.  The funtion call that you mentioned is for an LVDT channel, so you will need a device that is designed for that type of measurements such as the SCXI 1540 in order to use it.
