How to read the serial number of PXI Module in my C/C++ program.

[SocDesignCenter]

I am using PXI NI-FGEN controlling it by my C/C++ program. I would like to read the serial number of the hardware. Are there any methods to do it ?

Actually I could not find any functions and attributes in the programming manual. So I am posting this as the last chance. For example, it looks possible to me if we can access NI-MAX in my C/C++ program. Because NI-MAX displays the serial number.

Any information would be appreciated.

It looks like your answer is in the NI-FGEN help file. Go to NI-FGEN -> Documentation -> NI Signal Generators Help
From that help the inforamtion you are looking for is under the following heading:
NI Signal Generators Help
+Programming
+NI-FGEN Help
+C Reference
+Attributes
+Instrument-Specific Attributes
?NIFGEN_ATTR_SERIAL_NUMBER

I hope this is what you're looking for,

Thank you for the information.

I was looking at the document of NIFGEN 2.0 version driver software. In that version, there was no attribute about hardware serial number. So I downloaded the latest one and installed it. Then I could finally see the attribute that I have been looking for as you told me.
