Query cdaq chassis for configuration

[GDthomas]

I'm trying to figure out a way for Labview to correctly detect the number of modules in a CDAQ chassis. The code below will create a file of the MAX configuration and parse it to find what I need correctly. I will even detect if you add a module. But if you remove a module or even unplug the chassis it still gives the maximun number of modules that were installed, not the current number.

Is there a way to get MAX to update its configuration when appropriate or a way to query the chassis directly?

Thanks

Assuming you're using DAQmx, I think this is what you need:

Just go through the array one at a time getting the info you need from the property nodes.

Well looks I forgot the KISS principle. I think I can make that work.

Thanks!!
