Syntax
Get_Sysinfo()
Returns
The following information is returned, in a tab delimited variable if using the [OpenInsight_Properties_RECEIVER|System Receiver property]] of an edit box, or separated by commas if run from the System Monitor:
| Field Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Database ID |
| 2 | Username |
| 3 | User level |
| 4 | OpenInsight Serial Number |
| 5 | OpenInsight Version |
| 6 | CPU Type |

| 8 | n/a |
| 9 | n/a |
| 10 | Network Identifier |
| 11 | Station ID |

Note: Since Get_Sysinfo() is a routine, the result is not returned directly to the calling routine. However, by setting the System Receiver property of an edit box, the result can be returned in a window context. See the example below.
