New channels vanishing after being created in MAX after hitting refresh

I've come across a strange situation ,

 

A brief summary of what i am trying to do

 

I have Signal generator as my input to DAQPad-6070E . I am getting the variations in the MAX ( under Device and Interfaces ).

 

Now i created a channel with default device-1 and the input as channel 0 ( default) so that i get the variations in the test panel . Lets say that the channel name is test ( refer fig 2.bmp ) .

 

Now when i hit the refresh button in MAX (View -> Refersh ) the channel vanishes !!! Is this supposed to happen ?

 

My task is to get the DAQ channel into a vi in my program (refer fig-1.bmp) so that i can process it further.

 

Also i need some information (links or solved examples) describing the working of the channel (specially the select name which is obtained by hitting the down button). How does channel name get store in this ? Is it by default ( when created in MAX) ?

 

Appreciate your help..
