Getting serial number of GPIB board

[Mike]

Does anybody has an idea, how to read out the
serial number of the GPIB board with CSharp .NET?
Do I need some Measurement Explorer DLLs for
this or what's the solution for this problem?

Greetz & thanks

Hello Mike,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

If you are using NI-488.2 version 1.7, you will need to call the GPIB-32.dll and use the IBDIAG call. Parse the returned data to produce the serial number and driver version.

Be advised, however, that this process will not work in 2.0.

I hope this helps!

Hi Matthew

Is there no chance to get the serial number in GPIB 2.1?
We use the new drivers to develope with measurement
studio for .NET in CSharp... I can view the serial number
in MAX 3.0.2 (installed with NIDAQ 7.1). Is it possible
to read the serial number over MAX?

Thank you for more informations...

Best regards
Mike

Hello Mike,

Unfortunately, the IBDIAG call is not available in NI-488.2 version
2.1. This call is the only way to readily obtain the serial number
programmatically. It may, however, be included in future versions.
