Get device serial number via .NET

[CheeLim]

Hi

I would like to get the serial number of the device in the pci slot.

I was trying to use the NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Device class and the

serialnumber property.

Private

NIDevice As NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Device

TheSourceID = NIDevice.SerialNumber

The problem is that I don't know how to point to the correct pci slot to get the serial number of the device. I cannot find a function which allow me to set the pci slot number before I can read the SerialNumber.

Please advice

Thanks

Hi Chee,

The following knowledge base article should answer your question:
Programmatically Query the Serial Number of a DAQ Device

You don't need the slot number. Just provide the daq device name to the function.

The article is based on LabView. I am using .NET and  DAQmxGetDevSerialNum does not exist in .NET.

I have tried to look for it for it is not there. Please advice.

Hi Chee,

You would say something like:

NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Device myDevice = DaqSystem.Local.LoadDevice("dev1");
long serialNum;

serialNum = myDevice.SerialNumber;

I have a cfp-180x I have tried to use DAQmx but I have the following errors:

Error 3 The type or namespace name 'DAQmx' does not exist in the namespace 'NationalInstruments' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Error 4 The name 'DaqSystem' does not exist in the current context 

Do you have sugggestion?
