Accessing S.M.A.R.T. Parameters

[Failure_Analysis]

Are there functions available in CVI to allow access to Hard Drive S.M.A.R.T. parameters? If so, What .lib are they in, and/or is there source code available?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for posting to the National Instruments Discussion Forums!  Unfortunately there are no built-in CVI functions to call to SMART drive utilities.  My best advice would be to go to the web and see if there are any free downloadable dlls or libraries to do this.  You can also see if the Windows API DLLs have methods to do this.  Check out the API here.

Thanks for posting, and feel free to post with any other questions!
