programatically detect the card

[raghavendra]

hi

how to programatically detect the card is a digitai I/O card or not?

I have a DAQ card in my PCI slot and i would like my applilcation

to detect the whether its  DAQ or Digital I /O card or not.

If its other like relay or switch card my application does not need to interact

with the cards.

how can i achieve this.

regards

Hi Rags,

You can obtain the names of all devices in your computer by using  the DAQmxGetSysDevNames() function, and then use the DAQmxGetDevProductCategory() function to see if the board is a digital IO board. (see picture below, taken from DAQmx C Reference Help). This reference guide can be found under Start >> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI-DAQ.
