Re: How to list devices available ?

I use the node:
Device Names Property

Short Name: DevNames

Property of <a href="mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\National%20Instruments\LabVIEW%207.0\help\daqmxprop.chm::/DAQmxSystem.html" target="_blank">DAQmx System</a>

Indicates an array that contains the names of all devices installed in the system.

This returns all device names without making an assumption about naming conventions such as Dev1 to Dev6. daqMx allows for naming the device with meaningful names through MAX.&nbsp; I would encourage using daqMx, I found it a large learning curve over traditional DAQ but was well worth the time.&nbsp; I would also assume with DaqMx there will be a phase out of coding using traditional drivers over the next several years (I could be wrong about this) .
