Get physical channels control into separate strings

[Daniel Coelho]

Hi,

I have a physical channel control with "Dev1/ai0:1" and I wish to separate this to two strings or two channel controls, for instance, turn this Dev1/ai0:1 into this Dev1/ai0 and this Dev1/ai1 programaticaly.

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

you can use the Match pattern function to get both numbers. Convert the result strings to numbers, subtract the smaller from the larger one, add 1 and run a loop result times in which you create your string.

I did something similar but I was looking for a LabVIEW funcionality to do it.

Maybe there isn't.

Thank you for your quick reply and for your sugestion, it works fine.

Just use the DAQmx Unflatten Channel String function. It's on the Measurement I/O>DAQmx Advanced>DAQmx Utilities palette.

Thank you Dennis. That is exactly what I was looking for.

I already gave the solution tag on this post but this is the the answer I wanted.
