Hi Chris,
I tried running the VISA Find Resource and it does not return all the PXI modules that are in my chasis it returns:

The find visa resourse vi that I was sent works for the COM Ports. It returns an array of strings. There is another vi someone pointed me to in the Knowledge Based Website that will tell you what slots the other cards ( PXI) are in. Search for "Programmatic Slot Detection of PXI Instruments" At the bottom of the explaination is a vi example code.
Try this link:

Hey Clint (love all your movies by the way)
Yeah, I came across that vi yesterday, but it isn't exactly what I'm looking for. According to the orginal question by Boerg he just wants to poll ("who and what's out there?") and get everything back and that's where I am at too. When you open up MAX all your devices are listed there in neat order, GPIB, PXI, etc. and I just wanted a simple vi that would report to me all the PXI modules connected and their slot number.
Have you been able to get that VISA find resources to report to you all the pxi info?
Thanks,
Amiri

Like I said I have 2 vis and will probably have three when I try and read GPIB. I still don't understand why there is seperate "trees" in MAX. One for the serial and one for the (my) relay cards.
This is the link I was given by a previous post:

Here is the vi if you want to skip the info
