Searching Available DMM

[Mark_Dewey]

Hi,

I have a PCI 4065 DMM installed in my computer and I am looking for a way to detect with CVI whether or not the card is there before I try to open a session with it. For other DAQmx devices, I have been using "DAQmxGetSystemInfoAttribute (DAQmx_Sys_DevNames, devlist, charlength);" to successfully list all the devices. I can then do a string search on "devlist" to see if my device is there. Is there a way I can do something similar with my DMM? I recognize it's not showing up on the list because it's "special" from other NI DAQmx devices.

Thanks,

Mark

You can use System Configuration API to enumerate all devices in your system. It should already be installed. Alternatively, you can use niModinst, another API that allows you to enumerate all devices in your system but is limited to National Instruments Modular Instruments and RF devices.
