[Jannie du Preez]

Hello there

Is there a method of reading the hardware serial number of a NI device?

Thanks

For a DAQmx device, you can use a property node. See attached example.

1. Functions palette >> Measurement I/O (or NI Measurements for LV7) >> DAQmx - Data Acquisition >> DAQmx Advanced >> System Setup >> DAQmx Device Property Node
2. Put the property node on the diagram >> resize it to add a property
3. Click on the lower property >> Identification >> Device Serial Number
4. Wire the device to the ActiveDev property and an indicator to DevSerialNum. The serial number is a hexadecimal value and therefore you should set the string indicator to hexadecimal.
