Getting target IP from LabVIEW

[cbacchiani_ges]

Hi all,

I'm working on a Workspace Tool to be used by a Veristand project, and I'm writing it using Veristand VIs for LabVIEW.

Now I need to read the Target's IP to which Veristand is connected, which is also hardcoded inside the System Definition File. I know it's unique because I can access channel values and properties using the Workspace VIs, but I can't find a way to get the target's IP address.

Can anyone help?

Everything that lies into a system definition can be retrieved using the SysDef API.

Some VIs exist to have an more direct access to some features:

Thank you! I have indeed solved the problem by using the .NET API of Veristand.

Have a look at

Thank you Jiri, I found the example but I can't find the IP related bit there.

However in that example I see some interesting things, like the built-in references to the SDF and the tree browser.
