Programmatically Obtaining Serial Number from SCXI-1127 and SCXI-1128 Modules

Hardware: SCXI>>Modules>>SCXI-1126

Problem:
I am using the DAQmx Device » DevSerialNum property node in LabVIEW, and returning a value of "0" for the SCXI-1127 and SCXI-1128 devices in my system. All of my other SCXI modules return proper serial numbers. Why do I recieve a "0" instead of a serial number for these two modules?

Solution:
This is a known issue with the SCXI-1127 and 1128 modules. As a workaround, use other property nodes, instead of the DevSerialNum, to distinguish these modules. The figure seen below shows the DAQmx Device property node. The third property (DevSerialNum) returns "0" for the SCXI-1127 and 1128, so use the fourth property (Chassis.ModuleDevNames) to return an array containing the DAQmx names of the modules in the chassis. Also there are other Identification properties, such as Product Category, Product Type, and Product Number. Product Number is shown in the fifth property (ProductNum) and returns the unique hardware identification number of the device.
