IC LabVIEW Extension Reference: IC_GetDeviceModelName

IC_GetDeviceModelName

Retrieves the model name of the specified device. The model name is the name of the device without the trailing numbers that are appended to the name, when there is more than one device of the same type present on the system.

Please note: The reduction to the model name only makes sense for devices that have a serial number. Therefore, this VI returns the name including the trailing number for devices that do not have a serial number.


Reference in ICImagingControl In is the reference to an instance of IC Imaging Control.
String in Device is the name of the device whose model name is to be retrieved.
CLuster in Error In describes error conditions that occurred before this VI or function was executed. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function was executed, the VI or function passes the Error In value to Error Out.
Reference out ICImagingControl Out returns the reference that was passed to ICImagingControl In.
String out Basename is the name of the device without the trailing numbers (model name).
Cluster out Error Out contains error information. If Error In indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function was executed, Error Out contains the error information that was passed to Error In. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function generates.
