Programmatically Determine DAQMX Signal Generator Name

[rdtech]

Does anybody know how to programmatically determine the resource name of a signal generator that is recognized as a DAQMX device only? I've seen the solutions for instruments seen as NI-DAQ, but not as DAQMX devices.

You can use the DevNames property in the "DAQmx System Property Node" to get all the DAQmx resources on the system.

If it a NI-FGEN device you can use "niModInst Open Installed Devices Session.vi"

Super! That's what I needed. All the searching I had done resulted in old niModInst information that claimed Fgen was not yet supported.
