Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

Thanks very usefull for beginners

when I run this it does not return the info on c series module in chassis, is there any way to expand this to return module in chassis,

Currently, the NI System Configuration API does not support discovery of cRIO modules, however it will work with cDAQ.

This has been a common request, however there are some technical limitations with how the FPGA interacts with the modules that makes it complex to add. 

This is something that NI is actively working on, so hopefully it will be supported in a future release.

Is there any chance to retrieve the data that MAX shows at "Port Description"?

I'm trying to use this string to identfy special hardware showing up as virtual COM port.

I have tried different properties but haven't succeeded yet.
