The LabVIEW System Configuration API allows you to gather information and perform tasks programmatically on both local and remote systems. The System Configuration palette is located on the functions palette in LabVIEW under Measurement I/O.
Note If Measurement I/O does not appear on the functions palette, you can enable it by selecting Customize»Change Visible Palette.

Complete the following steps to use the LabVIEW System Configuration API with your FlexRIO device.

  1. Open a session and point to your target using its IP address.
  2. Enter your user name and password, if applicable.
  3. Open the System Configuration palette in LabVIEW.
  4. Open the Property Node (Hardware) to obtain information such as the device temperature and device model name.
