C Series Module Pinout Names

[mhayes]

I'm working on a project where I need to dynamically create shared variables based on which C series modules I have plugged into a cRIO 9035.  I'm looking for a way to programmatically extract the default name of each module I/O that is plugged in. For example, I'm looking for a way to get the string " Mod1/AI0" , "Mod1/AI1" etc,  off of the FPGA target so I can use it for a .ini file on the host.

I'm utilizing the compactRIO Information (CRI) Library to determine what which C series module is plugged in to each slot, but this doesn't provide information on the specific pin outs for each C series module. 

Does anyone know of a feasible way to do this?

Here's a forum post I found with someone asking a similar question:

[FPGA] Programatically Obtain FPGA Channel Information?

If you only need the names of the channels as strings (e.g. "Mod1/AI0"), you could write your own database that contains the names of the channels on each module based on module ID.

I don't think there's a better way to do it. As Dragis recommended, this could be something to post on FPGA Idea Exchange.
