Programatically read scaling units from cRio

[Yixiao-uncle]

Hi.

In cRio platform, when configuring an I/O variable, it is possible to define also the engineering unit.

Is there a way to programatically read these defined units?

Thank you

Looks like you should be able to do it by wiring a reference to a Property Node for your Shared Variable since you have DSC Module.

Looks like Scaling:Units is the one you're looking for. 

Hope this helps!

Hi.

A strage behavior is happening. By using Shared Variable IO Property i can read many properties, but when i select "description" property or "units" property an error is occurring.
