How to get Chassis serial number with system configuration C API?

I am able to get all of the hardware serial and alias information, but how do you specifically get the chassis itself?

Hello,

 

See this LabVIEW example using the same API and convert it to LabWindows/CVI functions.

LabVIEW VIs used are the following, you should be able to find the C API equivalents by searching NI System Configuration API Help.

 

Initialize

Create Filter

(Property Node) System Filter: Is Chassis

Find

(Property Node) System Hardware: Serial Number

Close

Close

Close

 

Here are the links I found on the property nodes:
