how to detect plugging & unplugging of nidaqmx card programatically

[Nilesh.Bodhe]

I am having NI6218 DAQmx card. This is USB device card. I wanted to track the event when data card is connected to usb drive programatically ( in c# specifically).

Is there any API / event raised by NIDAQ assemblies that will give me status of the above card is plugged-in or plugged-out as USB device?

Hello Nilesh,

Try using the VISA Find Resource VI.

could you elaborate please?

Hi Nilesh,

There is a function present in LabVIEW 'VISA Find Resource VI' which you can use to detect the device that are attached to the computer.
