Detecting compatibility of cRIO for DAQmx

[Ejun96]

I just know that some Compact RIO are compatible with DAQmx acquisition method. How could I distinguish between DAQmx compatible and incompatible Compact RIO programmatically? I just need a method like True/False just to allow me use different method for DAQmx compatible and incompatible Compact RIO. Thanks in advance.

Just an idea:

You could query the installed software packages using the system configuration API VIs.

Hi, Jens.

Thank you for the idea. But I didn't quite get on how to do that. Could you please elaborate or just simply attach a simple vi? Thank you

Only 905x and 904x target series can have DAQmx support installed.

Software components installed on a specific target can be discovered with these VIs:
