Owning Palette: Software Management

Gets or sets properties and methods on local or remote hardware targets. Use the System property node to configure devices in your system. Use the Save Changes VI to commit the new property settings.

Property	Description
Device Class	Specifies the class for the remote system or network device. Example: PXI, cRIO.
Firmware Version	Specifies the firmware version information for a remote system or network device. This is also known as the BIOS version.
Hostname	Specifies the requested hostname for a remote system or network device. This may or may not be the same as the DNS name.
Product ID	Specifies the bus-specific product identifier code. This is not the product's sellable model number.
Product Name	Specifies the product name for a remote system or network device. This is also known as the model name. Note  Use the value of this property for display purposes only and not for programmatic decisions. The value can change between implementations or revisions.
Serial Number	Specifies the serial number for a remote system or network device.
User Comment	Sets a user-specified comment for a remote system or network device, as shown in MAX.
Advanced:System Resource	Returns the hardware resource node that represents the local system service.
Advanced:Auto-Restart Timeout	Specifies the time in milliseconds that the VI waits to re-establish a connection to the system after a restart operation. The default is 90000 (90 seconds). This property applies only to VIs that automatically restart a remote system, such as before and after installation.
Advanced:Supports Factory Reset	Specifies whether the remote system supports resetting to factory defaults.
Advanced:Supports Firmware Update	Specifies whether the remote system supports firmware updates.
Advanced:Repository Location	Specifies the repository folder which contains installable components.
Advanced:Installed API Version	Specifies the version of the NI System Configuration API installed on the system.
Image Metadata:Title	Specifies the title of the system image.
Image Metadata:Description	Specifies the short description for the system image.
Image Metadata:ID	Specifies the unique identifier for the system image.
Image Metadata:Version	Specifies the version of the system image.
Operating System:Architecture	Specifies the short form of the operating system running on a system, including the name and architecture. Example: PharLap or VxWorks-PPC603.
Operating System:Version	Specifies the version of the operating system running on a system.
Operating System:Description	Specifies the long form of the operating system running on a system, including the name, version and service pack (if applicable).
Primary NIC:DNS Server	Specifies the DNS server address for a remote system or network device. If the system or device has multiple adapters, this property applies only to the primary network card.
Primary NIC:Gateway	Specifies the IP address of the gateway on the network for a remote system or network device. If the system or device has multiple adapters, this property applies only to the primary network card.
Primary NIC:IP Address	Specifies the IP address for a remote system or network device. If the system or device has multiple adapters, this property applies only to the primary network card.
Primary NIC:IP Address Request Mode	Specifies whether the remote system or network device receives its IP address statically or dynamically. Not all adapters support all modes. Static and DHCP/Link-Local modes are most commonly supported. If the system or device has multiple adapters, this property applies only to the primary network card.
Primary NIC:MAC Address	Specifies the unique code (MAC address) for a remote system or network device. If the system or device has multiple adapters, this property applies only to the primary network card.
Primary NIC:Subnet Mask	Specifies the subnet mask for a remote system or network device. If the system or device has multiple adapters, this property applies only to the primary network card.
Real-Time:File System	Specifies the file system for a remote system.
Real-Time:Is Locked	Specifies whether the remote system is password protected for FTP access. This property is valid only if Supports Locking is TRUE.
Real-Time:Supports Locking	Specifies whether the remote system supports password authentication for FTP access.
Real-Time:On Local Subnet	Specifies whether the remote system or network device is on the local subnet.
Real-Time:Protect Restarts	Specifies whether the remote system requires a password to restart.
Real-Time:Halt On IP Error	Specifies whether the remote system or network device is set to stop working if a TCP/IP error occurs.
Real-Time:Supports Restart	Specifies whether the remote system supports programmatic restarts.
Real-Time:System Status	Specifies the state for a remote system or network device.
System Resources:Total Physical Memory	Specifies the total amount of physical memory in KB on the system. Windows — This value corresponds to 'TotalVisibleMemorySize' reported from WMI. Linux — This value corresponds to 'MemTotal' reported from '/proc/meminfo'.
System Resources:Free Physical Memory	Specifies the amount of free physical memory in KB on the system. Windows — This value corresponds to 'FreePhysicalMemory' reported from WMI. Linux — This value corresponds to 'MemAvailable' reported from '/proc/meminfo'.
System Resources:Largest Available Memory Block	Specifies the size of the largest block of available memory in KB on a system running VxWorks or Phar Lap ETS.
System Resources:Total Virtual Memory	Specifies the total amount of virtual memory in KB on the system, which includes physical memory and swap file space. If virtual memory is not supported or enabled, this may be the same as the total physical memory. Windows — This value corresponds to 'CommitLimit' reported from WMI. Linux — This value corresponds to 'CommitLimit' reported from '/proc/meminfo'.
System Resources:Free Virtual Memory	Specifies the amount of free virtual memory in KB on the system. Windows — This value corresponds to 'CommitLimit - CommittedBytes' reported from WMI. Linux — This value corresponds to 'CommitLimit - Committed_AS' reported from '/proc/meminfo'.
System Resources:Primary Disk Capacity	Specifies the total amount of disk space in KB on the primary drive, for example C:, on the system.
System Resources:Primary Disk Free	Specifies the amount of free disk space in KB on the primary drive, for example C:, on the system.
