PXI 5105 on board memory option - how to check what version it is ?

Hi

 
I have recently purchased a second hand NI PXI-5105. I know this model comes with three diffrent on board memory options: 16,128 and 512. I haven't found any option indicator on the board itself. How can I find out what option it is ? I looked through the NI software as well as through XP device manager and I couldn't find any info regarding to memory size. 
 
Thanks,
Andrew

Hey Andrew,

 

There is a NI-Scope property that will return the memory size of the device.  It is called 'Memory size' from the Horizontal category and it will return the onboard memory in bytes.  Here is an article about this:

I hope this helps!
